guardian

In deciding whether to seek a guardianship for a disabled loved one, understanding the rights and duties of the disabled loved one (referred to by law as a "Ward") is critical.

Last week's blog post addressed the eligibility of an individual to serve as the guardian of another person.

The United States and many other countries are experiencing an aging population.  While it is wonderful to be able to live longer and experience more that life has to offer, one of the challenges is properly caring for an elderly population as health declines.

As the U.S. population ages and available medical treatment advances, families are increasingly faced with decisions about how to properly care for aging parents and grandparents.

When an individual becomes incapacitated due to age or disability, family members often wonder how to gain legal authority to care for the incapacitated loved one. Family members need to fully understand Texas guardianship law so that they can properly gain the needed legal powers.
