Ohio Guardianship Dispute Attorneys
Helping You Protect Your Loved Ones and Your Rights Since 1995
When an elderly person is no longer able to handle life's daily affairs, a family member or other interested party can intervene for their protection by seeking the appointment of a guardian in probate court.
A guardian can be granted a wide range of enumerated powers, including access to bank accounts and decision-making ability concerning financial matters and everyday issues. In general, there are two types of guardians:
- Guardians of a person (daily life decisions and tasks, which may include health care)
- Guardians of an estate (decisions that affect estate assets)
When Guardianship Disputes Arise
What happens when a guardian passes away, fails to perform duties competently, or engages in acts or fraud or theft? What recourse do family members and loves ones have when a guardian no longer has the capacity or exhibits the good will to perform duties responsibly for the person they are tasked to protect?
