Guardianship
Legal authority to care for someone who can no longer decide for themselves.
WHAT IT ACCOMPLISHES
Legal authority to care for someone who can no longer decide for themselves.
When a loved one cannot manage their own health or finances and no power of attorney is in place, a Texas court can appoint a guardian. We help families understand whether guardianship is necessary, explore less restrictive alternatives first, and handle the application and ongoing reporting when it is the right step.
