Tampa Guardianship Attorney

Are You Seeking Legal Guardianship of a Child?

Legal guardianship refers to the responsibilities of an individual concerning a ward such as children in the case of a parents' death, or those who cannot sufficiently care for themselves. A legal guardian assumes the rights and responsibilities over a ward, and must make appropriate decisions regarding their well-being in terms of education, emotional security, financial stability and many others. Guardianship is a tremendous responsibility to have, as much as it is an honor. It does come with its' complexities, however, and the process for establishing guardianship may sometimes be overwhelming. It is important to seek the advice of an experienced Tampa child custody lawyer who can help guide you through the process and inform you of your rights and responsibilities as a guardian.

Guardianship is a crucial matter for all parents or others who are responsible for the well-being of another, and would like to make preparations to secure the stability of their future in the event of the current legal guardians' death. Additionally, any assets, trusts or other possessions in the wards name can only be accessed if there is a legal guardian available. If there is not, then assets or funds may not be accessed, and critical medical decisions may not be made when an emergency situation calls for it.
