Guardianship Litigation

Will and Estate Law - Guardianship Litigation

Definition:

Guardianships are set up to protect the rights of individuals who are incapable of making decisions or taking care of themselves. Guardianships are typically used for children without parents, adults with developmental disabilities and older adults with health problems. When a dispute arises, guardianship litigation is used so that families do what's right for their loved ones.

Consequences of Guardianship Litigation:

Guardianship litigation is mostly used when different parties hold differing opinions about guardianship issues. The most common issues that come up are the person who should be named guardian of an incapacitated parent and the medical care that needs to be provided. Another guardianship litigation used is for the manipulation of elders' financial, medical, voting, employment, gift giving or marriage decisions.
