When a loved one is unable to manage their personal, medical, or financial affairs, establishing a guardianship can provide the legal authority needed to protect their well-being. At Diener & Martin, we assist families in navigating the guardianship process with compassion, sensitivity, and respect—helping ensure that vulnerable individuals receive the care and oversight they deserve.
Adult Guardianships – Representing families seeking guardianship for elderly parents, disabled adults, or those facing incapacity due to illness or injury.
Minor Guardianships – Assisting relatives or trusted caregivers in obtaining guardianship for children when parents are unable to provide proper care.
Temporary & Emergency Guardianships – Helping families secure immediate authority to act in urgent situations involving health, safety, or financial concerns.
Guardianship Administration – Guiding guardians in fulfilling ongoing reporting and financial management responsibilities to the court.
Contested Guardianships – Providing strong advocacy in cases where the need for, or choice of, guardian is disputed.
