Chicago, IL Guardian Litigation Attorneys

Guardianship is an important legal tool that can be used to protect a loved one. However, the process, standards and procedures can be very complicated. Our attorneys have served as legal counsel in thousands of guardianship cases, a significant number of them contested. We are adept at navigating through the courts and the requirements that must be followed to both pursue and maintain guardianship.

Actions we can pursue on your behalf include:

  • Filing petitions to obtain guardianship of a person and/or estate of a person with a disability
  • Bringing cross-petitions for guardianship on behalf of family members or others who want to serve as guardian
  • Taking action against an agent who is acting inappropriately or harming the person with a disability
  • Pursuing orders of protection and citations to recover against people who are exploiting or abusing someone with a disability
  • Preparing inventories and accountings of financial activity on behalf of a court-appointed guardian
