Guardianship is a legal arrangement that grants one individual the authority to make decisions on behalf of another person who is unable to make those decisions independently. While the primary goal of guardianship is to protect the best interests of the incapacitated person, the process itself can present several challenges. Falcon Law PC understands the complexities involved in obtaining guardianship for a loved one and offers solutions to address these challenges effectively.
Challenges in Obtaining Guardianship
1. Legal Complexity
The legal process for obtaining guardianship can be intricate, involving specific requirements and court procedures that may be unfamiliar to individuals seeking guardianship.

In some cases, the incapacitated person may not consent to the appointment of a guardian. This can lead to challenges in proving incapacity and demonstrating the necessity of guardianship.
3. Family Disputes
Disagreements among family members about who should be appointed as the guardian or about the necessity of guardianship can complicate the process.
