NEW YORK & NEW JERSEY Guardianship Attorneys
Protecting Incapacitated & Incompetent Individuals
Guardianship is a legal tool which gives one person or entity the power to make personal and/or property decisions for another. When the person loses the ability to make rational, clear-headed decisions about health care, finances, or other aspects of life, it affects his or her ability to participate meaningfully in decision-making. Guardianship may be the next step, particularly if there is disagreement among family members about these issues.

With the respect of peers and judiciary alike, our firm has the ability to handle guardianships in a timely, compassionate, and meticulous manner.
