Representing Caregivers and Families in Georgia
Guardianship is the process of obtaining the legal authority to make decisions for another person. Some of the reasons people go through the guardianship process is to care for a child, an elderly parent or a disabled adult.
At Turner Law, we represent clients in guardianship petitions, litigation and disputes in Decatur, the greater Atlanta area and throughout Georgia. We also help families avoid the need for guardianship when there are alternatives, such as powers of attorney and advance health care directives.
Guardianship Petitions and Litigation
Petitioning for guardianship of another person can be difficult for the entire family. Attorney Robert Turner is skilled at handling guardianship petitions, moving them forward as efficiently as possible in order to minimize the negative impact on the lives of the involved parties.
There are two aspects of guardianship:
- Guardianship of the person
- Conservatorship of the person's finances
As a guardian or conservator, you want to take care of your family member, manage their resources properly and ensure no one takes advantage of them. However, when families do not agree on who should be guardian or conservator, the litigation process can be emotionally straining. What starts out as a wish to protect mom from financial predators can become a fight over control of mom's money.
Lawyer Robert Turner represents both guardians and conservators, as well as family members who are concerned about what a guardian or conservator is doing.
