Burbank, CA
Conservatorship Attorney
Guardianship for Adults
Sometimes, due to age or infirmity, people lose the ability to make sound decisions. When a person is unable to make good decisions about his or her financial or personal affairs or has become susceptible to fraud or undue influence, the court can establish a conservatorship for that individual, and name a person to be responsible for the conservatorship.
If you believe your loved one may need a conservatorship, the attorneys at The Burbank Firm, L.C. can help your assess the situation and take appropriate action. Contact us today for a consultation. From our office in Burbank, we serve clients in the San Fernando Valley and across California.
Other Alternatives
Sometimes, a conservatorship may not be necessary. Some alternatives are:
- Trusts
- Durable powers of attorney
- Joint bank accounts
- Other joint interests
Before you seek to establish a conservatorship, we can help you to explore less expensive alternatives. At The Burbank Firm, L.C., our attorneys can assist you in determining your best course of action.
Establishing a Conservatorship
Once you have established that a conservatorship is necessary, the next step is to determine who the conservator will be and what decisions that person will make on behalf of the protected person. Because a conservatorship takes away some or all of an adult’s civil rights, court hearings are necessary and may require a jury trial. Our lawyers can guide you through these legal proceedings and can help you protect your loved one from elder abuse, fraud, and neglect.
