Guardianship

Protecting Vulnerable Individuals Through Legal Advocacy

At Robinson & Lawing, LLP, we assist families in establishing guardianships and conservatorships to protect loved ones who are unable to manage their personal or financial affairs. Our attorneys provide compassionate guidance through the legal process, ensuring that the rights and well-being of the individual are prioritized.

Understanding Guardianships and Conservatorships

Guardianships and conservatorships are legal arrangements where a court appoints an individual or entity to make decisions on behalf of someone who is incapacitated. We help clients:

• Petition for guardianship or conservatorship appointments
• Navigate the court process and required documentation
• Understand the responsibilities and duties of a guardian or conservator
• Address disputes or concerns related to existing arrangements

Our goal is to ensure that vulnerable individuals receive the care and protection they need while respecting their dignity and autonomy.

Local Counsel for Interstate Matters

Transferring guardianship or conservatorship across state lines can be complex. We serve as local counsel for out-of-state families and attorneys, assisting with:

• Understanding North Carolina's guardianship laws and procedures
• Coordinating with courts in other jurisdictions
• Ensuring compliance with the Uniform Adult Guardianship and Protective Proceedings Jurisdiction Act (UAGPPJA), where applicable

We can help facilitate smooth transitions and continued protection for the individual involved.
