Looking Out for a Loved One's Best Interests

Murphy Law Firm, Inc. — Tempe, Arizona

Knowing what's best for us is far more difficult than knowing what's best for someone else. This is especially true when it comes to interactions with the people who are closest to us.

If you feel as though someone you love can no longer take care of or make good decisions for himself or herself — talk to estate planning lawyer Thomas Murphy about guardianship and conservatorship possibilities. To schedule a consultation — contact Murphy Law Firm today.

The Function of a Guardian or Conservator

Guardianship and conservatorship are essentially the two sides of one coin: looking after the best interests of someone who is incapable of looking after his or her own in a constructive way.

The difference between a guardian and a conservator is about the types of decisions each is allowed to make. Guardianship matters involve answering the most basic and essential types of life questions such as where the person should live or which doctor he or she should see for health care needs. By contrast, conservatorship matters primarily involve answering questions of a financial nature.

In any case, there are several common mistakes that can lead to having guardianship or conservatorship denied or rescinded. Attorney Thomas Murphy has written at length and given numerous seminars on these common mistakes. He understands the subtleties of the law on this topic and the compassion that it takes to take this extraordinary step. He can help you to do what needs to be done.
