Guardianship Attorney Serving Glen Burnie

What is a Guardian?

A guardian is a person who is appointed by the court to be legally responsible for another person or someone else's property, or both. Guardianship may be appointed in the following situations:

• An elderly adult who is no longer mentally capable of making decisions about their property and finances
• A person who is incapacitated and needs a medical procedure
• A minor child whose parents are unable to care for them

Guardianship gives the responsible party the right to make decisions regarding the health, welfare, finances, living situation and other areas of concern for the child or disabled adult. If you or someone you care about needs representation for a guardianship matter, your interests will be best served by talking to a Glen Burnie family law attorney about the details of your particular situation.
