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?
