Lawyers Assisting With the Appointment of Guardians
Coming to the decision that one can no longer handle his or her own affairs, whether because of physical or mental incapacity, can be painstaking for both the individual and his or her family. In such cases, despite the hardship that the family may face, a guardian can be and should be appointed to ensure that the best interests of the individual are cared for and met. An understanding of elder law is crucial for the successful appointment of a viable guardian. The legal team at the Law Offices of Thomas L. Gallivan, PLLC can help with just such an appointment.
Understanding Your Personal Needs
The attorneys at the Law Offices of Thomas L. Gallivan, PLLC know that no two cases are the same.
