Denton Elder Guardianship Attorney
Do you have an elderly parent or other loved one who has become unable to make important living and financial decisions? If you have a loved one with Alzheimer's, dementia, or other mental or physical condition, you can establish an elder guardianship to protect your loved one's finances, help them make good decisions, and ensure they are taken care of. At Coorpender & Ramirez, we work closely with families to determine the long-term goals and needs of the elders they care about.
Contact a lawyer from our firm if you are interested in learning more about establishing a guardianship or if your elderly loved one is affected by Alzheimer's, stroke, or dementia. Remember our first consultation is free!
Concerned about Financial Exploitation?
Perhaps the biggest need for establishing a guardianship for an elderly or incapacitated adult comes in response to the financial exploitation of our senior population. Elderly people can become easily confused and manipulated, often at the expense of their pocketbook and credit score.
In addition to financial decisions, guardians make decisions regarding important daily concerns such as:
- Medical decisions
- Driving
- Marriage
- Voting
- Residential decisions
- Making gifts
- Employment decisions
- Supervision and protection
Elderly people may face this process with resistance. In most cases, the person has been independent his or her whole life. The key to this process is obtaining a doctor's letter that clearly addresses the medical and mental capacity of the elderly individual. Clients often come to our firm very concerned about their parents and other loved ones. We understand these concerns and address the issues with skill and compassion. Contact our law firm to arrange a consultation. We represent clients in Denton, Cooke, and Collin counties, including the communities of Sanger, Copper Canyon, Double Oaks, Flower Mound, and Highland Village, among others.
