Using A Guardianship To Help Care For A Loved One
When children do not have a parent to care for them or a loved one becomes mentally or physically unable to care for themselves, a guardianship might be appropriate. In a guardianship, a guardian is appointed by the court to take over responsibility for the health and well-being of another person, known as the ward. The guardian makes health care decisions on behalf of the ward and is often involved in day-to-day care.
To set up a guardianship, you must petition the Georgia probate court. I work with people to help ensure that the petition process is carried out correctly and counsel clients on the responsibilities involved in being a guardian. If you have questions about setting up a guardianship, I encourage you to contact my office to schedule a consultation.
