Guardianships & Conservatorships

Guardianships Attorneys Serving the Boston, Massachusetts Area

When people are no longer able to make important personal and financial decisions for themselves, the law offers opportunities to appoint trusted caretakers who will look after the disabled individual's interests. These opportunities take the form of guardianships and conservatorships.

A properly-handled guardianship or conservatorship arrangement will protect your loved one, while allowing him or her the maximum amount of personal freedom. At Seegel Lipshutz & Wilchins, we have been helping people throughout Massachusetts with their most sensitive family law issues since 1984, and we can help you protect your interests and the well being of your loved ones.

Contact us online or by telephone at 781-237-4400 to speak with an experienced Massachusetts guardianship lawyer.

Guardianships

If a person is no longer able to make decisions regarding his or her personal affairs, a guardian can be appointed to make those decisions. At Seegel Lipshutz & Wilchins, we help people obtain guardianship rights over loved ones who are:

  • Minor children with disabilities
  • Adult children with disabilities
  • Elderly people who are incapacitated

The scope of a guardian's responsibilities include decisions concerning medical care and personal living arrangements.

Conservatorships

When a person can no longer manage his or her own finances, a conservator can be appointed to take care of those matters. Our attorneys can help you with all of the necessary legal details involved in the establishment of a conservatorship arrangement. We can help you understand your rights and responsibilities and help ensure that your loved one has a stable financial future.
