New York Guardianships Attorney
Brooklyn Guardianship and Conservatorship Lawyers
It is often necessary, but never easy, to take legal control of the affairs of an infirm parent, an adult child with disabilities or a severely injured sibling.
Establishing a guardianship or conservatorship is appropriate for many reasons, including the death of a parent with a minor child, advanced age, mental incapacity such as Alzheimer's disease, dementia, or psychiatric disorders, or physical incapacity, such as disability or paralysis.
A knowledgeable lawyer at Goldberg Sager & Associates, can help answer your questions and concerns regarding a guardianship. We have 20 years of experience in guardianships law and are happy to explain how the process typically works. Contact an attorney at our firm today.
Protecting a Loved One
Elderly individuals are often the subject of a guardianship proceeding. Our firm helps individuals seeking guardianships understand their options. In certain cases, we represent individuals subject to a guardianship filing and help them assert that a guardianship is not appropriate.
Adults who are incapable of caring for themselves due to drug addiction, physical incapacitation, mental illness, mental retardation, or other reasons may require the intervention of a loved one or friend to ensure their well-being. In certain cases, a guardianship over an adult must be established for his or her own protection.
In other cases, a legal guardianship may be tied into aspects of elder care and elder law, such as health care and financial details. We are sensitive to the needs of our clients and the individuals who are the subject of the guardianship petition. Our attorneys can handle the creation of a legal conservatorship as well as providing clients information regarding New York guardianship laws.
Guardianships Over Children
Though not as common, guardianships over children may be necessary if a parent is unable to function, or has died. An important estate planning consideration for mothers and fathers is designating a guardian to care for minor or disabled children. Goldberg Sager & Associates, Attorneys at Law, helps parents draft wills, trusts, and other documents to designate guardians for and ensure the financial security of their children. Many guardianship cases result in child custody matters which can also be handled by our firm.
Contact us at Goldberg Sager & Associates today to discuss your rights and options regarding guardianships. We are available for evening appointments, and our New York offices are accessible by subway, bus and automobile. We offer clients live telephone service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
