GUARDIANSHIP
ADMINISTRATION

There are some aspects of getting older that no one likes to think about.  If your loved one seems to be developing dementia, Alzheimer's, or other mental health disorders, the Country Law Shack can help you and your siblings or family gain guardianship over your loved one to ensure that medical decisions are made, bills are paid, and your loved one lives comfortably.  We can also help parents with special needs children ensure their children are able to live as independently as possible as adults.


We can help with:

 

  • Gauging whether guardianship is right for your individual situation
  • Applying for guardianship over your loved one, whether a mature adult or a child with special needs coming of age
  • Walking you through all the steps of the legal process
  • Preparing you for reporting to the court each year, which includes helping you keep track with and calculating annual accountings
