Guardianships

Establishing a guardianship for your child or the family member you care for is essential in ensuring that their needs will be provided for, even when you are not around. The person you choose as a guardian can be a family member, a close friend, or another trusted person.

The responsibilities of a guardian include:

• Educational/medical decisions
• Determining residency
• Maintaining assets 

At the Law Offices of Charles L. Kurmay, we are here to listen to your concerns and help you establish an effective, sound plan for guardianship of your loved ones.

Understanding the Signs of Diminishing Mental Capacity

Although many people think of guardianship as only having to do with children, a guardianship can be established for any individual who cannot care for themselves, such as someone with disabilities. Unfortunately, many people are not aware of how guardianship works or when the best time to establish one is. Our Connecticut guardianship attorneys have over 100 years of combined experience and can provide you with the legal counsel you deserve.

As your family members get older and begin to change their routines and behavior, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on them. If their mental capacity is diminished and they aren’t making smart decisions for themselves, it may be time to contact a lawyer.

A few signs that your loved one may need a guardianship established include:

• Mishandling finances, especially if significant amounts of money are involved
• Exhibiting signs of paranoia
• Halting participation in previously enjoyable activities
• Becoming friends with anyone who may take advantage of them
