PRACTICE AREAS > FAMILY LAW > GUARDIANSHIP

– 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. As experienced family law attorneys, familiar with the state laws, court system, and filing procedures, Molavoque Law can counsel you on any guardianship concerns and effectively guide you through the process to obtain legal guardianship.
 
Not only does Molavoque Law offer legal advice and services for child guardianship, but the firm also can assist you if you are seeking guardianship of a loved one over the age of 18 who is disabled or incapacitated. For example, you may have an elderly parent who has become incapable of receiving and evaluating information, of managing and making decisions regarding financial resources, or of caring for himself/herself from a health and safety perspective. Committed to listening to the unique parameters of your case, Molavoque Law will counsel you on your options and help determine the best approach.
 
Whether you are looking to obtain legal guardianship of an adult or a minor, to better understand the different types of guardianship and for assistance with the legal process driving its approval, contact Kristin A. Molavoque, Esquire.
