Experienced Guardianship Litigation
The process for appointing a guardian is, in many cases, straight-forward. However, disputes do occur over whether a person actually needs a guardian and whether a guardian is fit to serve in such a role. Issues also arise over abuse and property disposition. When these disputes do arise, you need a legal team that has the knowledge and experience to litigate these unique issues. The lawyers at the law firm of Goldsmith & Guymon are that team.

Diligent Representation in All Guardianship Matters
A guardian is a person who is appointed to a fiduciary role to care for another person, referred to as a ward. A guardian basically is granted the power to make decisions on behalf of the ward. Guardianships, sometimes called conservatorships, are typically established for the care of minor children, the elderly, and persons with special needs.
Litigation issues often arise when there is a dispute as to who is best served in the role of a guardian. In addition, many issues may arise after a person has been appointed as a guardian or attorney-in-fact, including:
- Stealing or misuse of money and/or property
- Abuse and neglect
- Breach of a fiduciary duty
- Mismanagement of funds
- Isolation
