Guardianship Legal Services

The Legal Case for Guardianship

Most of the time, the best thing for children is to have the guidance and protection of their parents. However, this is not always possible. In these cases, legal guardianship may be set up in order to ensure ongoing care for the children in question.

Legal guardianship gives legal power and responsibility to another responsible adult. A legal guardian will only be appointed in specific circumstances for the child's best interests. In many cases, children need a guardian because they are in a dangerous or tenuous situation, and the guardian can provide needed stability and safety.

Reasons for guardianship include:

• Unfit parents
• Dangerous home
• Death of the parents

Naturally, obtaining legal guardianship is difficult, which is why a legal team with family law experience is necessary. At McAlister Law Firm, LLC, we've handled these delicate cases before, and we'll ensure the process is approached with care and compassion. Guardianships may be temporary or permanent, depending on the situation.

In such cases, we always seek the best interests of the child, and we'll go above and beyond to make sure the case is resolved appropriately. We'll handle administrative tasks, and paperwork, and justify the case for guardianship to the court.

Move Forward With Legal Conservatorships

Most of the time, guardianship is for children, and it usually involves the physical well-being and care of the child. A conservatorship, on the other hand, gives someone control of the money, property, and finance of their ward.

Understandably, there is a high legal threshold for a conservatorship. The court must see that the person in question is incapable of making their own decisions. Usually, conservatorship cases are brought by the individual or their friends or relatives. The court strives to ensure that no one is being manipulated.

Conservatorships are usually undertaken due to age, mental weakness, or physical impairment. For example, children with disabilities often rely on a conservatorship with their parents into adulthood. This ensures that the children are always cared for and provided for sufficiently.

To ensure that the conservatorship is set up properly and in the best interest of everyone involved, work with the legal team at McAlister Law Firm. We have ample experience with family law, and we'll make sure that the conservatorship is set up properly so that everyone can live happy, productive lives.
