Guardianship Law Can Be Complex

If the incapacitated individual—has not identified a guardian or conservator beforehand, the legal requirements can be extremely complicated.  If you think you or a loved one may be in this position at some point in time, taking the necessary legal steps now can save much stress and heartache later. You can also name a guardian for yourself or a loved one in your estate plan before you become incapacitated. 

In some cases, identifying who would handle an incapacitated individual’s wishes is quite simple. In most cases, a surviving spouse of sound mind will take care of decisions for their loved one.  If you’re already researching – the situation might be more complex than just making sure a spouse is appointed.  Your surviving parent might not be equipped to make those weighty decisions at this time. By being prepared for any eventuality – you’re ensuring a more positive outcome.
