Guardianship Services Available in Travis County
We provide comprehensive legal services for families seeking guardianship solutions, whether for vulnerable adults or minors in need of financial protection.
Establishing Adult Guardianship
If an adult cannot safely make decisions due to illness, disability, or cognitive decline, we guide families through the legal steps required to obtain court-appointed authority.
Guardianship of the Person
This form of guardianship allows a responsible individual to make decisions regarding living arrangements, healthcare, and day-to-day well-being, ensuring the person receives proper care and supervision.
Guardianship of the Estate
When someone cannot responsibly manage money or property, we help guardians obtain authority to oversee income, assets, and financial obligations under court supervision.
Limited Guardianship Options
Texas courts often prefer limited guardianships that grant authority only in specific areas. We help families design tailored plans that preserve as much independence as possible while still providing needed protection.
Guardianship for Minors with Financial Assets
If a child receives an inheritance, insurance proceeds, or a legal settlement, guardianship may be required to manage those funds responsibly until adulthood.
Emergency Guardianship Situations
In urgent cases where an individual’s health or finances are at immediate risk, we assist families in seeking temporary legal authority through expedited court procedures.
Safeguards Built Into the Travis County Process
Guardianship is closely monitored to protect the individual involved. Courts typically appoint independent representatives to review the situation and confirm that guardianship is necessary and appropriate. Once appointed, guardians must follow strict reporting requirements, including updates on the person’s condition and financial accountings when applicable.
Our attorneys help clients understand and meet these responsibilities, reducing stress and ensuring continued compliance.
