We have helped many individuals in Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio become guardians for their incapacitated family members.

What Does A Guardian Do?
Perhaps you are aware that your relative is not capable of caring for themselves, but you do not exactly understand the duties of a guardian. A guardian makes important legal, medical and financial decisions on behalf of a person who is mentally or physically incapacitated. If you become a guardian for your relative, your duties may include:
- Making medical decisions on their behalf
- Managing their finances
- Signing medical, legal and financial documents for them
- Applying for private or public benefits for them
- Caring for their property and assets
