Las Vegas Guardianship Attorney
How Our Nevada Guardianship Lawyer Can Assist You
Sometimes, the Las Vegas court may appoint a legal guardian to take on the responsibility of making decisions for an individual or an estate. This can happen if an elderly person is no longer capable of caring for him or herself or if a child with a severe disability has become an adult. Additionally, depending on the circumstances, the guardian may have the authority to make decisions about an individual’s estate, or personal and medical needs. If you are currently seeking guardianship of a relative or loved one, then you should always consult with experienced Vegas guardianship attorneys.
Welt Law provides legal guidance on adult guardianship for those in need of protecting the rights of individuals or estates of family members who are not able to make decisions for themselves. As a Las Vegas guardianship lawyer, she advises clients in and around Las Vegas, and throughout the entire state.
What Is Guardianship and When Is It Necessary?
Under ordinary circumstances, adults have the right to make decisions for themselves. However, if an adult is unable to make these decisions, then the court can appoint a guardian to take on these legal responsibilities instead. There are different types of guardianship, depending on the circumstances.
Guardianship of the Person authorizes and obligates you to provide certain things for individuals who cannot take care of themselves like:
- proper care
- daily home maintenance
- education
- support
This means the guardian is responsible for personal and medical decisions only. However, these arrangements can become quite complicated and are protected by the Nevada Revised Statutes.
Outlined in the Nevada Revised Statutes are responsibilities for the Guardian of the Estate, who has the responsibility to protect, preserve, manage, and dispose of the estate in the individual’s best interest. This type of guardian is responsible for financial decisions only.
While a legal guardian is often a relative of the protected person, this is not always the case. The Las Vegas court can appoint anyone to be a legal guardian as long as he or she meets certain minimum requirements.
