Guardianships

Our attorneys are sensitive and empathic when dealing with legal issues that apply to a loved one. If an adult becomes unable to handle his or her own day-to-day financial affairs, someone else must step in to take responsibility. That�s where Twomey, Latham attorneys will help to set up guardianships, durable powers of attorney, and health care directives. Unfortunately, with little or no planning, the family must ask a court to appoint a conservator, guardian, or custodian who has the court-ordered authority and responsibility to manage another adult�s finances, medical decisions, living arrangements and daily activities. These types of arrangements are time-consuming and expensive and often require court hearings and ongoing assistance of a lawyer. The paperwork alone can be overwhelming because a conservator must keep detailed records and file court papers on a regular basis. Through competent and trustworthy assistance, our attorneys will create a plan for you and your family that will allow you to provide for your loved ones without court assistance and without public knowledge. The firm's attorneys are also experienced in matrimonial issues such as dissolution of marriage, annulment and other legal proceedings where the residence and care of children are concerned. Our attorneys can prepare child custody agreements that give the parents the right to make decisions for the child and the duty to care for it. Court rules and procedures are well known to our attorneys, and we can prepare the paperwork to be used to prevent mishandling of assets and health care issues.
