PRACTICE AREAS
Guardianships and Conservatorships
A Guardianship is appropriate when a person is not able to make informed decisions regarding his/her health or finances. A guardianship may also be sought if extraordinary authority such as the administering of anti-psychotic medications or extraordinary medical procedures is necessary.
If a person only needs assistance with his/her finances, a conservatorship may be appropriate. Guardianships and conservatorships may be obtained on an emergency basis if warranted.
Attorney Erickson represents individuals and family members, such as spouses or children, in obtaining guardianship for their loved ones. She also represents nursing homes which are by law required to obtain guardianships for certain residents.
