Colorado Springs Guardianship Lawyer

A family member or other significant caregiver may seek guardianship — usually of a child, an elderly adult or a disabled family member — for several reasons. Parents may be unable to take care of their children because of illness, addiction, incarceration or military service. A grandparent, uncle, aunt, sister, brother or other close relative or friend of the family may seek the legal authority to care for that child or disabled adult that guardianship will allow.

Colorado Springs Guardianship Attorney

Guardianships are obtained and terminated through probate courts in Colorado. Family law and elder law attorney Lynn Landis-Brown is equipped to assist clients in both child custody and guardianship matters. Lynn Landis-Brown, P.C., is a valuable resource for families with custody, guardianship or conservatorship needs in Colorado Springs, Castle Rock and the vicinity.

If you have a child with a disability who is approaching the age of 18, you very likely may need to establish guardianship of him or her as a disabled adult. Without a guardianship order, you will no longer have the legal authority to handle his or her finances and/or health care and care-giving decisions. A guardianship may also be the right legal solution allowing you to manage the affairs of an elderly family member with dementia or a close relative of any age with paralysis.
