Protecting Incapacitated Adults and Minor Children

Guardianships and Conservatorships
In Georgia, you can establish a guardianship in order to make health and welfare decisions for a minor child or incapacitated ward. You can establish a conservatorship to make financial decisions for wards.
You can use a will to pick a guardian for your children instead of leaving it up to a court. You can obtain a guardianship or conservatorship for incapacitated persons over the age of 18 who are unable to make financial, medical or legal decisions. This includes your incapacitated child who is turning 18 and elderly relatives with mental, physical or emotional illnesses or disabilities.
As part of our commitment to helping children and others in need, we have served as guardians ad litem in probate court to protect the best interests of a child or adult ward.
