Without these documents, a guardianship will
likely be required. In addition to being costly,
guardianships enable the judges – not the family
members – to make critical decisions. In addition,
guardianship courts hesitate to “gift away” a Ward’s
assets for medical planning.
Families should work with trusted legal experts
with experience handling elder law issues. Obtaining
the right legal documents can eliminate the stress
of caring for aging loved ones and give families a
priceless asset: peace of mind.
