GUARDIANSHIPS & SUPPORTIVE DECISION MAKING

Guardianships

Taking care of the health, safety and wellbeing of a loved one is the foundation of a guardianship.  A guardian or co-guardians are appointed by the court to make medical, living, and some financial decisions on behalf of the person experiencing a disability.  

 

Supportive Decision making

Alderwood Legal provides holistic legal support and after an evaluation, we may determine that a guardianship is not the proper way to provide the protected person with support; rather a supportive decision making agreement is the most suitable approach.

 

We collaborate with other professionals that are providing your family with support and work to change the way your family navigates this chapter.

CONSERVATORSHIPS

Taking care of the financial wellbeing of a loved one is the foundation of a conservatorship.  A conservator or co-conservators are appointed by the court to make financial decisions on behalf of the person experiencing a disability.

​

We set up the conservatorship with the court, educate you on your fiduciary responsibilities, and we provide ongoing yearly support for the annual accounting the must be submitted to the court.
