Madison County Legal Guardianship Attorneys
A guardianship is a legal responsibility to care and manage a certain individual, child or estate for another person. Many people agree to become guardians only to realize that there is more responsibility than they originally thought. At the Law Office of Susan F. Grammer, Attorney at Law, of East Alton, Illinois, we provide experienced counsel and guidance for legal guardians throughout Madison County. Our attorney is licensed to practice in both Illinois and Missouri.
Guardianship of a Child or Disabled Adult
No one plans for an accident, so establishing a guardianship for your child or disabled adult in your care is often one of the best ways to protect their well-being in case something should happen to you. Our East Alton guardianship attorneys can help you understand your options and establish your guardianship in connection to your will or trust.
Our firm also provides legal counsel for those chosen to be guardians for a child, elderly relative or disabled adult. We advise you on your rights and responsibilities for providing day-to-day care, making health-related decisions and other obligations you may have.
Guardianship of the Estate
A guardian may be responsible for the continued well-being of a person as well as his or her financial estate, though separate people can be appointed for each. Guardians of the estate have specific, on-going accounting duties and must routinely submit financial reports to the court accounting for daily expenses, assets and any liabilities for their ward's estate. Our lawyers will walk you through the process and ensure you follow all reporting procedures properly.
