– GUARDIANSHIP –
In the State of Pennsylvania, a guardian is an individual approved by a Pennsylvania court to care for and manage the property and rights, and make decisions on behalf of another person. As parents, guardianship is usually established through a Will, naming a trusted friend or family member as guardian in the event of death or unfortunate events rendering the parents incapable of caring for their children. Other more complex situations arise where legal guardianship may be warranted if the parents have abandoned their child, have had their rights terminated, or have been incarcerated for any length of time.
To obtain legal guardianship in Pennsylvania, you must follow a specific court process.
