Guardianships

Appointment of Chicago Area Guardians

At the Law Offices of David Blocher in Chicago, Illinois, we educate people about the importance of guardianships, in some states known as conservatorships. If someone in your family is in need of a guardian, contact us to schedule a free initial consultation with an experienced attorney.

Our firm has over 18 years of combined legal experience assisting people and their families to deal with guardianship issues throughout Chicago. This can be a confusing process and is best dealt with if you hire a lawyer to guide you through this important procedure. Our attorneys can explain powers of attorney and guardianships and point out the advantages of each.

When an elderly or minor family member is unable to care for himself or herself, we will help you have a guardian appointed to watch over their financial and personal affairs. A guardian must account for his or her actions every year with the court. After reviewing the guardian’s account and report for that year, the court will approve or reject the accounting. This is important when issues arise concerning a guardian’s actions. If anyone challenges a guardian’s conduct, he or she can show the court’s approval as a defense.

We will assist your family in all aspects of a guardianship for an individual, including:

• Guardians to meet the needs of a minor child
• Guardians to protect an elderly or disabled family member
• Initial appointment of a guardian
• Annual reporting and accounting
• Guardians who have abused their authority
