Guardianship

Compassionate Reno, Nevada, Probate and Guardianships Lawyer

A primary concern a person may have is trying to make sure his or her loved ones are taken care of after he or she passes away. This concern is heightened if your loved one is a minor child or has a mental or physical handicap.

If you're worried about who will take care of your minor children or aged parent in your absence, speak to an experienced guardianships attorney. If you live in Nevada, contact the Law Office of Sean M. Tanko to discuss your concerns with a local lawyer with considerable experience handling guardianships.

Guardianships

If you have a relative who is unable to take care of him or herself, you can appoint an adult to take care of your loved one. This individual, called the guardian, will make personal decisions for a minor or incapacitated person (called a "ward"). Appointment of guardians is usually done in a will. If there is no will, a relative of the minor or incapacitated person can request an appointment as part of the probate process.

Conservatorships

We also have experience with conservatorships. If you have a minor or incapacitated relative who has considerable property, you can ask a court to establish a conservatorship. A conservatorship is a court proceeding to appoint an individual, or a corporation with trustee powers to manage the financial affairs of a minor or other person who can no longer manage his or her own property or financial matters. If you need help in seeking a conservatorship, we can assist you.
