Guardianship Practice at Sell Law
At Sell Law, we understand the importance of protecting the interests and well-being of individuals who are unable to care for themselves due to incapacity. Our dedicated attorneys provide compassionate and effective legal representation in guardianship matters, ensuring that vulnerable individuals receive the support and advocacy they need.
Establishing Guardianships
Establishing a guardianship involves appointing a legal guardian to make decisions on behalf of a minor or incapacitated adult who is unable to manage their own affairs. Sell Law guides families through the process of petitioning the court for guardianship, including preparing necessary documentation, gathering evidence of incapacity, and representing clients in guardianship hearings. We advocate for the best interests of the individual in need of a guardian while respecting their rights and preferences.
Guardianship Administration
Once a guardianship is established, the appointed guardian assumes responsibility for making decisions related to the ward’s personal care, finances, and living arrangements. Sell Law provides ongoing legal support to guardians, ensuring they understand their duties and obligations under Iowa law. We help guardians navigate complex decisions, manage finances responsibly, and comply with reporting requirements to the court.
Guardianship Disputes
Disputes over guardianship can arise when family members or interested parties disagree on who should serve as guardian or how the guardian is fulfilling their duties. Sell Law represents clients in guardianship disputes, including contested guardianship hearings and petitions to modify or terminate guardianships. We advocate for our clients’ interests while prioritizing the welfare and best interests of the ward.
Conservatorships
In cases where individuals are unable to manage their financial affairs due to incapacity, Sell Law assists families in establishing conservatorships. A conservator is appointed by the court to manage the ward’s financial assets, pay bills, and make financial decisions on their behalf. We guide clients through the process of petitioning for conservatorship, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and protecting the ward’s financial interests.
