Experienced Team of Henderson Guardianship Lawyers

Our law firm's guardianship attorneys tailor their approach based on the unique set of facts in each case. We have a strong background helping families obtain court-appointed guardianships for a variety of situations, including:

• Parents who have adult children with special needs
• Families with senior citizens who are incapacitated
• Families with loved ones who are mentally disabled
• Families with loved ones who have a terminal illness
• Families with minor children whose parents died suddenly

Obtaining legal guardianships can be highly complicated. Our law firm's elder law attorneys offer extensive experience helping clients take the right steps to protect vulnerable individuals. Guardianships can be established after doctors conclude someone is incapacitated or unable to manage their personal and financial affairs. Our legal team has extensive experience explaining to judges why establishing a guardianship is a necessary step. We also seek to demonstrate why our client would be well-suited to act as the legal guardian.

In some circumstances, a temporary guardianship can be appointed within a few hours or days based on an emergency situation. We know the right steps to take in pursuing a permanent guardianship before a temporary appointment ends. Once a guardianship is established, we are available to ensure guardians follow proper legal procedures.

Offering Medicaid Planning Services

Long-term healthcare benefits are available through Medicaid for individuals with limited income and assets. At the Law Firm of Jeffrey Burr, we are committed to helping clients qualify for Medicaid assistance without depleting their savings. We offer extensive experience establishing guardianships for incapacitated individuals. Once a legal guardianship is developed, the guardian will maintain control over the individual's assets based on their best interests.

This provides an opportunity for incapacitated individuals to qualify for long-term healthcare benefits, since their assets will no longer be under their name. We have the skills and legal resources to guide clients through this complicated process, while seeking the benefits individuals are entitled to obtain.
