Palm Beach Guardianship Attorney
Legal guardianships can be established to help people who are no longer able to care for themselves or their finances. Elderly people who are vulnerable to financial exploitation may need a guardian. I have a keen interest in protecting the elderly from exploitation and guardianship is often a solution. Minors may also require a legal guardian in certain instances. If you need a lawyer who can assist you with any issues related to a legal guardianship, contact me, Lee A. Rosenthal. I offer experienced representation and a commitment to personal service for every one of my clients. I will assist you and your ward in setting up these often complex, document-intense asset preservation tools, providing the guidance and support you need to fully understand all of your rights and fiduciary obligations.
If you have been named a guardian, you have been entrusted with a number of obligations. I can help you understand these responsibilities. I can assist you in every aspect of a guardianship, including the following:
- Taking inventory of guardianship assets
- Annual reporting
- Potential conflicts of a guardian
As a skilled estate administration attorney, my background as a financial advisor allows me to offer sound advice to help secure the financial inheritance of your ward. I provide legal counsel throughout the duration of a case, from establishing the guardianship through to the discharge of the guardianship due to age of maturity, transfer or the death of the ward. I can also establish a special needs trust for adults with special needs.
Florida Legal Guardian Attorney for Contested Matters
In certain cases, members of a family may disagree on who should be appointed guardian of a person who is incapacitated. This situation often happens between siblings who disagree as to who should be appointed guardian. This is an example of a contested guardianship matter. If you are part of a contested guardianship, I can represent your interests in the courtroom.
Preneed Guardians
If you want to make sure that a certain person is named as your guardian in case you later need one, I can create language in your will or power of attorney that designates your choice of guardian before a guardian is necessary. Courts will give preneed guardianship designations great weight.
