- Special Needs Guardianships — If your child with Down Syndrome, autism or other developmental disabilities has turned 18 or is about to, we can help establish you as legal guardian over their personal and financial affairs. This includes setting up a special needs trust to preserve assets without disqualifying your adult disabled child for Medicare and Social Security.
- Elder Guardianships — Has the time come for your elderly parent(s) to enter an assisted living or nursing home facility because of the limitations of age or dementia (such as Alzheimer's disease). If your mother or father can no longer make financial decisions or manage their own care, we can help establish guardianship to protect their assets and protect them from themselves.
- Successor Guardians and Transfer of Guardianship — Every guardianship should have a back-up plan. If a guardian dies or resigns his or her duties for health reasons, we can assist in a smooth transition for a new guardian to take over the role.
- Guardianship Litigation — When family members disagree over who should be in charge of a vulnerable adult, the conflict can tear families apart. Coorpender & Ramirez can step in to assert your interests in probate court or negotiate a solution outside of the courtroom.
- Registered Guardians — If you cannot take on the responsibility but want to ensure that your loved one's best interests are well protected, Robert Ramirez is a certified guardian who can fill that role.
We offer flat fees for many guardianship services (which vary by county) or competitive hourly fees for dispute resolution. We understand that compassion, accessibility, affordability and experience are especially important in these delicate family matters.
