Guardianships

A legal guardian is an adult who is chosen by a court to make decisions on behalf of an individual who cannot make decisions for him or herself, usually a minor but sometimes an adult with special needs. Parents may even establish guardianship over their children in some instances, particularly when a minor comes into a large sum of money or has physical or mental disabilities. As attorneys, our job is to oversee the guardianship on behalf of the court-appointed guardian to ensure and comply with all court requirements and Ohio laws.
