Elder and Minor Guardianship Attorneys in Maryland
Establishing a guardianship for a child or an elderly or incapacitated adult can help manage basic needs and make difficult decisions.

Minor Guardianships
When parents cannot or do not want to take care of their minor children, the court may appoint a guardian to take care of those children. Relatives or close family friends may petition the court for guardianship over a minor. Our firm can draft the guardianship petition and lead you through the a process.
Elder Guardianships
For elderly, disabled and incapacitated adults who are unable to manage daily tasks related to finances and basic living needs, a guardianship may be granted by the court based on the situation. Since guardianships can be difficult for people who want to maintain a sense of independence and freedom, it can be difficult to meet everyone's needs in a respectful manner.
Our firm is able to meet all the technical requirements of establishing an elder guardianship, while doing so in a timely fashion with compassion and responsibility.
