Palos Verdes Guardianship Attorneys
California law allows for the creation of a guardianship (for people under the age of 18) or a conservatorship (for people over 18) when a person becomes legally incapacitated and can no longer manage his or her affairs.
At Burkley & Brandlin LLP, we create guardianships and conservatorships, as well as other legal vehicles, which can provide for the needs of incapacitated persons. Disputes can arise over the creation of a conservatorship. Our firm can undertake litigation on your behalf in order to achieve your goals.
If a loved one needs the protection that a guardianship or conservatorship can provide, contact our firm.
Torrance Conservatorship Attorneys
When you are creating a conservatorship, it is important to choose a conservator who is trustworthy and is capable of handling the many tasks expected of a conservator. An attorney at our firm can discuss these issues and explain the legal process. We can also prepare the petition and supporting documentation needed to obtain a conservatorship, and present it to the court.
We can also recommend measures that can be taken in an estate plan that can avoid the need for a conservatorship. For example, a trust or power of attorney can provide many of the benefits of a conservatorship for less cost, though there are pluses and minuses to these approaches. An attorney at our firm can review your situation and recommend the right solution for you.
