Compassionate Guidance Through the Guardianship Process

Guardianship allows a court to appoint someone to make personal or financial decisions for an adult who can no longer make them safely on their own. The process starts with filing a petition in the Orphans' Court of the county where the individual lives, along with medical evidence supporting the need for guardianship. A background check and a court hearing follow, where a judge decides whether guardianship is necessary and who is best suited to serve. Most cases take a matter of weeks to resolve, though contested or complex matters can take longer. We help families prepare the petition, gather medical documentation, and represent them through the hearing so their loved one is protected.
