What guardianship attorneys do

Guardianship attorneys help families ask a court to appoint someone to make decisions for a minor or for an adult who can no longer make them safely. In Tennessee, guardianship of an adult is generally called conservatorship.

When to call one

  • An adult family member can't manage money or health decisions and has no power of attorney
  • A child will need a guardian because of a parent's death or incapacity
  • An existing guardianship or conservatorship needs to be changed or ended

Questions to ask before you hire

  • Are there less restrictive alternatives we should try first?
  • What does the court process involve, and how long does it take?
  • What ongoing reports will the guardian or conservator have to file?
