Guardianship and Conservatorship Attorney
Serving Clients in the Walnut Creek and Antioch, California, Areas
In certain family law situations, a non-parent family member may want to take over the care of a child. In other situations, it may be necessary that a loved one take over the finances and care of an elderly or special needs adult.
The Law Offices of David M. Lederman has successfully represented many clients in guardianship (care of a child) and conservatorship (care of an adult) cases. We file the necessary petitions and motions with the goal of protecting our clients' vulnerable loved ones.
Our principal attorney, David M. Lederman, is a Certified Specialist in Family Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization. Call 866-463-2149 or send us an e-mail to arrange a consultation.
People establish guardianships or conservatorships for different reasons:
- A parent is deemed unfit to care for a child by the courts
- An elderly adult can no longer adequately control finance
- A loved one becomes incapacitated
- A former caregiver dies or can no longer care for a child or adult
- And other reasons
Whatever your reason for wanting to be a guardian or conservator, we can help. We will support and guide you through the process, preparing your case and striving for a successful outcome. We care about you and your family, and we want what is best for your future.
Preparing Your Case
The most difficult step in obtaining a guardianship is proving why you should have custodial rights. Generally, this involves showing that you and the child have a stable relationship and that the child would benefit from being in your care. We can represent you in court and present evidence that supports your claim. If applicable, we will assert your grandparents' rights to obtain guardianship of your grandchild.
We offer the same level of service in conservatorship cases. We can help show why a conservatorship is necessary and present clear reasons as to why you are a good choice as a caregiver.
