Guardianship


Every person has needs that are unique to them and they also have differing abilities. Guardianship is a way to assist someone who lacks the capacity to manage their physical health and safety, protect or assert their rights, and/or manage their financial resources. DiFranza Law can help you establish a Guardianship. Learn more about Guardianship in this article:
Guardian Advocacy


When a child with special needs turns 18, the parents will no longer have the legal right to obtain health information or make decisions on their behalf. The purpose of a guardian advocate is to assist a person that has the capacity to make some, but not all, of the decisions regarding their person or property. We can help.

Adoption


If you are looking to grow your family, our law firm can help with adoption of a minor or an adult. When adopting a minor child, it is a permanent relationship and the biological parental rights will be severed from the child. This differs from guardianship which can co-exist with the legal relationship between the child and the biological parents. Learn more about guardianship and adoption in this article:

What works for one person doesn’t work for everyone, therefore estate planning is not something you should try to do without the assistance of an elder law attorney.
