Guardianship and Elder Law

Services Offered

Guardianship Administration

People of all ages can become physically or cognitively incapacitated. When this happens, they may need legal representation to ensure that their personal needs are still met and to help guard against abuse, exploitation or fraud. Dunlap Moran’s Private Wealth Practice Group offers attorneys experienced in all varieties of guardianship matters, whether representing the guardian or the incapacitated person, including contested guardianships and uncontested matters (guardianships that are agreed to and desired by family and friends). Our attorneys also represent all interested parties with respect to health care and durable power of attorney issues. We respectfully advocate for the least-restrictive means to help ensure the dignity of the ward and peace of mind for their loved ones.
