Orange County Legal Guardianship Attorneys

Advocating for the Best Interests of Our Clients’ Families

In most cases, a child’s parents are responsible for taking care of them. To ensure parents can effectively fulfill their responsibilities, they have the authority to make legal decisions for their child regarding healthcare, contractual agreements, and more. Similarly, the parents or caretakers of an adult who lacks the mental capacity to make their own legal decisions must have the freedom to exercise legal authority on behalf of them.

Legal guardianship disputes can be incredibly complex and difficult to navigate. With over 40 years of experience, our attorneys can expertly guide you through this process and while protecting your rights and best interests.

Navigating California Guardianship Laws

Under California law, the court can appoint a legal guardian to make decisions on behalf of minor children and incapacitated adults. Relatives and unrelated parental figures may obtain legal guardianship over a minor child if doing so would be in the child’s best interest. If the grant of guardianship would interfere with the parental rights of the child’s current living parents, the court must determine whether parental custody of the child would be harmful to the child’s safety and well-being.

We can help you navigate through the following guardianship issues:

• Temporary guardianship
• Minor children guardianship
• Parental rights litigation
• Incapacitated adult guardianship
• Disability and incapacitation hearings
• Terminating guardianship
