What Is a Guardianship?
A guardianship is a legal relationship that is created when a probate court finds that an individual lacks the capacity to perform certain functions and needs a guardian to make decisions on their behalf. A guardian is an individual who is appointed by a probate court to make decisions on behalf of a ward.
How Does a Guardian Manage a Ward's Affairs?
A guardian is generally responsible for managing a ward's real estate, personal property, and financial affairs. This can include making decisions about where the ward will live, what medical care they will receive, what day-to-day tasks they will perform, and how their money will be spent. A guardian may be granted power of attorney to make decisions regarding the personal and financial affairs of the ward.
What Is the Difference Between a Guardian and a Conservator?
A guardian is responsible for the personal affairs of the ward, while a conservator is responsible for the financial affairs of the ward.

I had to find an attorney and the Happy Even After was highly recommended to me so I made my consultation with Renée. Right away I felt at ease. Renée took some of my worries away and she reassured me this is all normal procedure in getting a divorce. Renée was very professional, respectful, polite and kind... Renée was very thorough and smart when it comes to divorce and child custody especially for fathers’ rights. Everyone in her office was very professional, polite and caring. The paralegal was very helpful. She would get things done ASAP and if you needed something, she would send it through email right away. It was always a pleasure speaking with her on the phone, in person or through email. I also had the pleasure of working with Leslie who prepared my financial affidavit. She was always a pleasure to speak with, very polite, professional and helpful. Leslie would walk me through something I did not understand step-by-step or would find the answer for me. Overall, the whole firm was excellent. I highly recommend Happy Even After to anyone that's going through a divorce..... thanks for the positive experience from Renée and her law firm!!!!- Phil
