California guardianship most commonly applies to children. In California, a guardian is appointed by a court to be responsible for a person under the age of eighteen. Guardians are commonly appointed when a parent is terminally ill, unfit, or upon the death of both parents. Guardianship is found in three categories; guardian of the person, guardian of the estate, and guardian of the person and the estate. We can advise you on the rights and responsibilities of guardianship variations, and can file and pursue an appropriate petition in court. We can also advise you on alternatives to guardianship that may easily accomplish your goals.

A successful adoption proceeding is perhaps the most rewarding result of a family law proceeding. We can help you pursue traditional or step-parent adoptions in California. We can ease your way through the legal process. It is imperative that you have legal advice to make sure that all consents and agreements are valid and enforceable. Additionally, we are effective at litigating non-consensual step-parent adoption cases where the rights of the non-custodial parent must be terminated.

Conservatorships most commonly apply to adults. If a family member suffers from a mental disability, is not competent, or is no longer able to handle their own affairs, a California court may appoint a conservator to manage that person's affairs. We can advise you on the rights and responsibilities of conservatorship, as well has pursue a petition with the court. We can similarly advise you on alternatives to conservatorship to accomplish your goals.

California laws and procedures are very complicated and should not be handled without consulting an attorney first. Therefore it is imperative that you consult an experienced family law attorney before making any decisions.
