Selecting a Guardian
If a person needs help due to a mental or physical incapacity now or down the road with running their life, including their finances, living arraignments, and healthcare the court can appoint a guardian. A Tahlequah Guardianship Attorney is often asked by families in your situation one big question: Who can be a guardian for my loved one? The answer can be best answered in a initial and confidential consultation at our Tahlequah office.
In Oklahoma, a guardian can be someone the person selected before they became incapacitated. If that did not happen, the court could look to the individual’s spouse, grown-up child of the ward, a parent of the ward in question, or sometimes even a relative the incapacitated lived with before the petition for guardianship was filed with the court. In certain situations, we have seen a current caregiver of the incapacitated person fill the role as the guardian in a legal setting.
The rights of the incapacitated person must be protected in the court. If a person is an indigent ward, they have the right to get the services of a court-appointed lawyer in Cherokee County. It is also important to point out that the person petitioning for the guardianship may also be entitled to have a lawyer in the guardianship hearings as well.
Remember, we understand this is an emotional situation, and you need someone that can keep the emotions in check and protect your legal interest.
