What is contested guardianship?

Contested guardianship involves legal disputes over the appointment or actions of a guardian responsible for the care and management of a vulnerable individual, known as a ward.

When is contested guardianship necessary?

Contested guardianship is necessary when there are disagreements about who should be appointed as a guardian or concerns about the current guardian’s ability to manage the ward’s personal or financial affairs.

How can a contested guardianship lawyer help?

A contested guardianship lawyer can help by providing legal advice, representing your interests in court, gathering and presenting evidence, and ensuring that the best interests of the ward are protected throughout the legal process.

What should I consider before pursuing contested guardianship?

Before pursuing contested guardianship, consider the specific concerns about the current or proposed guardian, the evidence needed to support your case, the potential impact on family relationships, and the legal complexities involved.
