California Guardianship and Conservatorship Lawyers

Taking responsibility for the well-being of another human being is a tremendous undertaking that should not be taken lightly by you or the attorney you retain. At Jarvis & Krieger, with offices in Long Beach, Anaheim, Newport Beach, CA, and Las Vegas, Nevada. We will assist you throughout the entire process of guardianship, conservatorship, or adoption.

There may be times when you need to assume a guardianship or conservatorship over the affairs of another person. That person may be disabled and not have the ability to make a vital medical decision or financial decision, especially if he or she owns a large estate. Certain individuals may seek to exploit those situations by taking advantage of another whose decision-making abilities are affected by a disability. A trusted friend and family member can oversee key financial and medical decisions in such an instance, as well as pay bills, buy property, and ensure that the individual that they are responsible for in a guardianship or conservatorship position is well taken care of for the long term.

At Jarvis & Krieger, we also assist clients with the rewarding process of adoption. Grandparents or other relatives, as well as friends, have come forward to take responsibility for a child that they have known and loved for years. Couples unable to conceive their own children are often looking for a child to adopt, either in the United States or overseas. Whether you know the identity of the child you want to adopt or are just getting the process started, we can help with all aspects, from the initial background checks and interviews to the formal proceeding in court.
