Guardianship matters arise at difficult moments — when a loved one can no longer safely manage their own care or finances, and a family needs the court's authority to step in. KSJ guides families through the guardianship petition process and provides ongoing counsel once a guardianship is established, helping guardians meet their legal obligations to the court and to the person in their care.

Because guardianship carries ongoing reporting and oversight requirements, our involvement doesn't end at the petition. We help guardians understand their responsibilities, prepare required court filings, and navigate questions that come up over the course of the guardianship.

We advise on:

• Guardianship petitions for adults and minors
• Alternatives to guardianship, including supported decision-making and powers of attorney
• Ongoing guardian reporting and compliance obligations
• Guardian and ward disputes
• Coordination with estate planning and Medicaid planning
