San Antonio Guardianship Attorney
Texas Probate Guardianship Lawyer
Guardianships are necessary when a person cannot take care of himself or herself. A guardian is necessary when a child with special needs reaches the age of 18, or when a person becomes incapacitated and is no longer able to take care of his or her needs. If you feel it is necessary to establish a guardianship for a loved one, it will be imperative to hire an attorney who is experienced in these matters. Attorneys Jack Efron and Barry Efron of Efron & Efron, Inc., have helped people in guardianship proceedings.
Under Texas law, a guardianship can apply to a person, his or her estate, or both. Guardianship proceedings are heard in Probate Court. Before the Court agrees to name a guardian, it will be necessary to show substantial documentation that the individual in question is not able to take care of him or herself.
Given the sensitive nature of these issues, there are often major disagreements between family members as to whether a person needs a guardian, or as to who is the most appropriate candidate to be guardian. A guardian can wield an enormous amount of power over his or her ward's life. Whatever side of the issue you are on in a particular case, our law firm can fully protect your interests.
