Guardianship Trusted Guidance That Exceeds Expectations

Baton Rouge Guardianship Attorney

Do you need a guardianship in Baton Rouge?

When a minor child needs someone other than his parents to take care of him, or an adult needs care due to being too elderly and unable to make decisions or care for themselves, or is otherwise incapacitated, a guardianship can be the right solution. A guardian for a minor comes about when the parents have passed away, become seriously ill, been incarcerated, or voluntarily decided to relinquish their parental responsibilities and rights. Parents can state in a living will the person or persons that they choose as a guardian in case of death, but if there is no such written document, a court will decide. If you want to be named as a guardian, you should contact a Baton Rouge family law lawyer to help you. These issues can become complex, and knowledgeable legal assistance will help you avoid unnecessary pitfalls.

Baton Rouge Guardianship Lawyer

A guardian is a person who has the legal responsibility to care for and manage either a minor or an adult who cannot take care of himself. There is a court process one must go through to be legally appointed a guardian, and a family law attorney can help you with this process. There are many duties and responsibilities that come with being named a guardian and it is important that you understand all of what it entails so you make the correct decision for yourself and for your family.

People who become guardians are usually family members, such as grandparents, adult siblings, aunts, and uncles. It is an option far different than an adoption. The responsibilities of a minor's guardian end as soon as the child reaches the age of 18, although a life-long relationship is frequently still maintained.

A caring guardian is often a good alternative for taking care of minors or elderly or incapacitated adults. At the Law Office of Wendra J. Moran, we are passionate about the nurturing benefits of the family unit. Our skillful team can help you with the entire guardianship process or answer any questions you have.
