Helping Clients with Guardianship Matters in Texas

Guardianship is often sought by family members close to the child in need (grandparents, aunts, uncles, and siblings who are over the age of 18). Individuals who are not related by blood can also seek guardianship.

Reasons for guardianship include:

• Death of parent/parents
• Incarceration
• Alcohol/drug abuse
• Domestic violence
• Child abuse

To get guardianship in Texas, you must:

• 1) file a petition with the court
• 2) attend a hearing before a judge
• 3) Have the judge appoint you as the guardian

If you are hoping to obtain guardianship of a child, then our firm can help. We understand that every situation is different and so are the various reasons you may be seeking guardianship.

Can I Seek Guardianship of an Adult?

Occasionally, an adult requires guardianship, too. Whether your loved one is physically disabled or mentally incapacitated, he or she needs and deserves compassionate care. In Texas, an adult can have a legal guardian who is allowed to make decisions for their ward.

Adult guardianship is a big step to take and can significantly impact the ward’s rights – sometimes, this is the best way to ensure proper care of the adult. The process, which involves probate court and trust litigation, can be complex. Rothschild Law Firm can help you understand your options and decide whether guardianship is the right choice. From there, we can help you apply for guardianship and guide you through the necessary steps towards a successful outcome.
