Colorado Guardianship And Conservatorship Lawyer

Vincent & Romeo, LLC can support you and your loved ones through the guardianship and conservatorship process with care, compassion and a focus on the well-being of everyone involved. When you work with our firm, you get a team of professionals on your side including — if you choose — access to a social worker to help you navigate the practical and interpersonal consequences of guardianship and conservatorship.

Guardianship delegates the authority to make important decisions, such as those about medical care or housing, when a person is no longer well enough to make those decisions themselves. Conservatorship grants the ability to manage money and property. The two processes often go hand-in-hand. When appropriate, our firm can also help with related issues like Medicaid planning to help pay for long-term care while protecting important assets.

A Steady Partner Through The Guardianship And Conservatorship Process

Many clients come to us concerned that guardianships and conservatorships mean a loss of autonomy for their loved ones and increased burdens on themselves as guardians and conservators. Guardianship and conservatorship are useful tools that can achieve multiple goals, including protecting an incapacitated loved one’s safety and financial interests. It does not automatically eliminate autonomy, nor does it require a client to make every decision for his or her loved one.

Still, the process is often fraught with emotion. At Vincent & Romeo, LLC, our approach is to be the calm in the storm. We will make sure that everyone’s needs and concerns are heard and will help to sort though any conflicts by focusing on practical steps forward. Guardianship and conservatorship are complex issues, but our team of professionals will guide you through the process while making sure everyone understands their duties and responsibilities moving forward.

Most of the time, guardianships and conservatorships are uncontested, but dynamics differ for each family. Our professionals will be proactive about potential problems. If necessary, we can work together to help defuse tensions and offer alternative solutions before a guardianship becomes contested. Often, taking this proactive approach will save money and family stress in the long run.
