Massachusetts Guardianship and Conservatorship Lawyers
Establishing a guardianship (or conservatorship) is undertaken in Massachusetts by filing the appropriate petition in the Probate Courts of the Commonwealth. The creation of a guardianship of a minor or adult (or conservatorship) is appropriate for many reasons, including the death of a parent with a minor child (minority), advanced age, mental incapacity (Alzheimer's disease, dementia, or psychiatric disorders), parental unfitness, mental retardation, or physical incapacity (disability, paralysis).

Helping Mansfield Area Clients Successfully Navigate Throughout the Process
Our clients' goals often involve protecting and preserving the assets, real estate, bank accounts, retirement savings and other assets of their wards, as well as seeing to the physical well-being of children and incapacitated or disabled individuals. Often, the best methods to accomplish these goals involve establishing a guardianship or conservatorship.
A guardianship gives another person legal authority to make health care decisions, financial decisions and property management decisions for people who are unable to make those decisions for themselves. Guardianships are also useful to make parenting decisions and managing the inheritance of a minor child whose parents have died.
An important estate planning consideration for mothers and fathers is designating a legal guardian to care for minor or disabled children. Our guardianship and conservatorship attorneys help parents do estate planning such as the preparation of wills, trusts and other documents to designate guardians for and ensure the financial security of children.
From time to time, the establishment of a guardianship or conservatorship is fought by the proposed ward or another family member or interested party. We have extensive estate litigation experience, and will work hard to reach a successful conclusion for you.
