Legal Advice in Elder Law and Special Guardianship Cases
Haider Kennedy solicitors advise people who wish to be a legal guardian of an elderly relative. We work closely with our clients to develop and present a case that can be expected to secure a special guardianship for someone who can no longer handle his or her own affairs.
To learn more about our services in these special cases, contact our law office in Croydon for a no-charge initial consultation. Our Croydon special guardianship lawyers will inform you of your rights and obligations as a guardian so you can make an informed decision about whether you are the right person to obtain that responsibility. Should you decide that you wish to be a guardian, we can prepare a power of attorney that grants you certain legal rights over the affairs of the elderly person.
Who Is Eligible for Special Guardianship?
Special guardianship may be granted over an elderly person or another person who cannot make decisions on their own. When considering appointing a legal guardian, a judge will consider the person in question's health and welfare. We will look for ways to help ensure a judge agrees with the decision that a guardianship is necessary and appoints you to be legal guardian.
Contesting Special Guardianships
In cases where you believe a family member is seeking to be a legal guardian for the wrong reasons, you can contest the guardianship. We will help you investigate and challenge the motives for seeking a guardianship, as well as question whether one is actually necessary.
