Conservatorships are sometimes necessary when a loved one has mental capacity issues and is unable to make his/her own legal, financial, and medical decisions (e.g., when a parent’s Alzheimer’s Disease worsens or a developmentally disabled child turns age 18). You can gain the legal right to make important choices for those close to you — and we can show you how.
Elder Abuse Restraining Orders: We also assist elderly and dependent adult victims of abuse file elder abuse restraining orders. Abuse of an elder or a dependent adult means either:
- Physical abuse, neglect, financial abuse, abandonment, isolation, abduction, verbal abuse, or other treatment with resulting physical harm or pain or mental suffering; or
- The deprivation by a care custodian of goods or services that are necessary to avoid physical harm or mental suffering.
