We are the Guardianship and Conservatorship Lawyers for Michigan Families in Probate
When a loved one becomes so impaired by mental illness, mental deficiency, physical illness or disability, chronic use of drugs, chronic intoxication, or other cause, that he or she lacks the understanding or capacity to make or communicate informed decisions, that individually may be found to be "legally incapacitated" by a probate court and in need of a guardian and/or conservator.
A Conservator is a person appointed by a probate court and given power and responsibility for the estate (financial assets and property) of an adult (called a protected individual).
A Guardian is a person appointed by a probate court and given power and responsibility to make certain decisions about the care of another individual. These decisions might include treatment decisions or where the individual should live. If the individual has a reduced life expectancy due to advanced illness, the guardian may have the power to make an informed decision on behalf of the individual regarding receiving, continuing, discontinuing, or refusing medical treatment. A full guardian can make all decisions for the individual. A limited guardian can only make decisions pre-determined by the court.
Guardianships and Conservatorships are important matters in Probate. As your Michigan guardian and conservator lawyer, we assist in filing petitions and/or objections with the probate court related to the appointment of a guardian and/or conservator for an individual.
