Guardianship Attorney Long Island

Setting up a legal guardianship and a conservatorship will allow you to legally make decisions on behalf of the individual. This also places one person in the position of responsibility for the individual so that everyone (including the State) knows that they are getting the care that they need. Legal guardian becomes personally responsible for acting in the best interests of the ward. In the eyes of the court, the guardian is a fiduciary and must act with the utmost care of the ward. When someone is appointed as a guardian, or a conservator, they will have several important obligations that they must meet. This obviously starts with providing for the care that the individual needs, but it goes beyond that. As a guardian, you must always act with the best interests of your ward . You can’t ‘self-serve’ or make a decision that is best for you personally. If you do, there can be serious legal ramifications.
