Guardianships in Pennsylvania
There are times when adults without power-of-attorneys or underage children cannot make or no longer can make competent financial decisions. In that instance, a guardian ad litem would need to be appointed. Additionally, if the adult or child can no longer or cannot care for themselves and their daily living needs, the court will appoint a guardian in personam. An individual may not need both. For example, someone who has their mental facilities does not require a guardian ad litem. When either is necessary, they will need to be placed in the care of a guardian.
A Guardianship is when someone oversees a vulnerable person’s life choices, including medical decisions, financial decisions, and daily living. A guardian is court-appointed, and the process can be very stressful. At Auld Brothers, we have the experience of helping families obtain Guardianships for elderly parents and underage children.
