Guardianships
Establishing guardianship is a critical legal step for those who need to take responsibility for a minor child or an incapacitated adult who cannot manage their own affairs. Richard E. Bower, Attorney at Law, provides expert legal assistance in navigating the guardianship process in Pennsylvania, ensuring that clients can establish the appropriate legal protections with confidence and clarity.
Guardianships are often necessary when parents are unable to care for their children due to illness, incapacity, or other significant life events. Richard E. Bower supports clients in filing the necessary petitions to become guardians, representing them in court proceedings, and managing compliance with Pennsylvania’s laws regarding the welfare of minors. The goal is to provide children with stable, caring environments where they can thrive, and our firm is dedicated to making this process as smooth and supportive as possible.
Guardianship also extends to adults who are unable to manage their own personal, medical, or financial needs due to cognitive decline, mental illness, or disability. In these cases, guardianship is essential for protecting their rights while ensuring that their needs are met. Our firm assists families in obtaining legal guardianship, whether it is limited to specific aspects of care or comprehensive, depending on the circumstances.
