Understanding Guardianship

Guardianship is a legal arrangement where a court appoints an individual — the guardian — to manage the personal and/or financial affairs of a minor or an incapacitated adult, known as the ward. This responsibility may become necessary when parents can no longer care for their children or when an adult has become incapacitated due to a health condition or injury.

The Guardianship Process

Securing guardianship involves a series of legal steps to protect the ward’s best interests. In Washington state, this process begins with filing a petition, followed by court evaluations and hearings. Throughout this journey, having a reliable guardian attorney is indispensable. Our lawyers work closely with each family, tailoring our approach to their unique circumstances and providing the sensitivity and legal acumen needed during such a critical time.
