Guardianship is a legal relationship in which a court appoints a responsible person (the guardian) to care for someone who cannot care for themselves (the ward). This can include making decisions about personal care, housing, medical treatment, and finances.

Texas courts take guardianship seriously because it involves limiting a person’s rights. We help you determine whether guardianship is necessary or whether less restrictive alternatives may better serve your family.

Our Guardianship Services include:

• Guardianship of the Person – Appointing someone to make medical, residential, and personal decisions on behalf of the individual.
• Guardianship of the Estate – Managing the individual’s financial affairs and property.
• Temporary or Emergency Guardianship - When immediate protection is needed.
• Contested Guardianship Matters – Representation when family members disagree or challenges arise.
• Alternatives to Guardianship - Exploring less restrictive options such as powers of attorney or supported decision-making agreements.

We work closely with families to identify the most appropriate path to ensure their loved one’s safety, dignity, and wellbeing.
