Finding Guardianship for Incapacitated Adults

When an aging person reaches a stage where he or she cannot take care of themselves, it is essential that guardianship be appointed to take care of them. Guardianship not only involves helping them out with their errands, meals, and medicines but also handle their personal and financial affairs because of legal incapacities, such as illness or infirmity.


If you can't decide whether a guardianship is in your loved one’s best interest or not, reach out to the attorneys at Nickloy, Albright, Gordon, & Siebe to discuss the process and advantages of appointing a guardian.


It is also a possibility that the incapacitated person might have created a will or trust that gives an attorney the power to appoint a specific individual for making personal and financial decisions in the event of his or her incapacity. You should find out if such documents exist before consulting with an attorney.

Guardianship for Minors

Sometimes, there are situations where even a minor needs a guardianship to take care of him or her such as:
  • The minor’s parents may be incapacitated and cannot look after the person.
  • One or both of the minor’s parents may be deceased.
  • The minor’s parents may be out of the country for a long period and need a caregiver to have the legal authority for providing medical care and handling the educational needs of the minor.
A guardianship over a minor is also necessary if the minor is a beneficiary of an inheritance or insurance proceeds. In fact, the State of Indiana requires that those funds are placed in a restricted account after the guardian is appointed for the minor, even if the guardian is a biological parent of the minor beneficiary.

When you're thinking of appointing a guardianship for a minor, talk to one of our attorneys about your specific situation and needs.
