New Jersey Elder Guardianship Lawyer

Is it time to consider guardianship for an aging parent who is no longer able to manage his or her daily affairs? At the Cranford, New Jersey, law office of Nicholas A. Giuditta, III, we represent individuals seeking to petition the court for guardianship over an elderly loved one. Contact us to speak to a qualified and committed guardianship attorney. We will provide you with thoughtful, personal counsel through every step of the process.

For many of our elderly and aging loved ones, there comes a time when managing their own day to day affairs becomes challenging. Mail piles up, paying the bills becomes wearisome, handling an estate is too difficult and healthcare needs become too overwhelming to be dealt with alone. It may become necessary for a trusted friend or family member to take over these tasks. If you need to seek legal guardianship for an aging relative or friend, we can help.

In many cases, powers of attorney drafted years ago are not comprehensive enough to allow an agent to adequately care for their elderly loved one today. If a previously drafted durable power of attorney did not cover matters that now need to be addressed, such as allowing the agent to obtain medical records or to admit the individual to a hospital, then guardianship must be sought. We can assist you in reviewing these documents and guiding you through the court system to qualify you as the guardian for an ailing parent or relative.

Nick Giuditta III also acts as a court-appointed attorney for people over whom guardianships are sought. We will interview the proposed guardian and the person over whom the guardianship is sought, or ward, to determine mental competency and to ensure the interests of the ward are being protected. We also represent these persons in the capacity of our private practice as well.

If you are seeking guardianship of a mentally incapacitated or mentally incompetent family member, contact a compassionate and accessible guardianship lawyer at the law office of Nicholas A. Giuditta, III.
