Guardianships in Cleveland, Ohio

For more than five decades, we have represented clients with complicated estate planning needs. Each situation is unique. We offer a hands-on approach to clearly understand everyone's specific needs and goals.

Part of our background includes working with grandparents, uncles, aunts, and other family members looking to become guardians. In some circumstances, parents die unexpectedly or become wards of the state unable to raise their children. We present strong legal arguments in probate court to demonstrate the children's best interests in naming a trusted family member as their legal guardian.

The attorneys at our law firm also work with families to establish guardianships for adults unable to care for themselves. Our top priority is to minimize any future disputes through carefully outlining the guardianship process. We explain in plain English guardianship responsibility laws, involving:

  • Safeguard ward's assets from exploitation
  • Protect ward's medial needs
  • Help wards maintain as much independence as possible
  • Inform family members of important decisions affecting the guardianship estate

If you are concerned your loved one's guardian was in breach of fiduciary duty, we will vigorously seek to have the guardian removed from the estate. We have a firm understanding of the guardianship responsibility laws — we are ready to help you.
