There are two kinds of guardianship: A minor guardianship is used to hold assets that belong to a person under age 18, who receives the assets as a result of a court settlement or inheritance. An 'incompetent' guardianship is set up to protect an adult who, as a result of illness or injury, is no longer able to take care of him or herself. Both require filling out the proper probate forms, securing a bond, and appearing at a hearing in probate court. Ron will be with you every step of the way.
