Guardianships

When you prepare for the future and appoint a guardian, you take away the court's control of appointing an individual who is not well-suited for the responsibility. Guardianships occur when the parent(s) are unable to care for their minor child or when an individual becomes incapacitated and can no longer care for themselves.

Probate Process

When an individual passes away, they are referred to as the decedent. Their estate is then brought up to the probate court. From there, the decedent's affairs are handled by an appointed individual from the court. The complexity of the estate can significantly impact the length of time involved with the probate process.
