GUARDIANSHIP & POWER OF ATTORNEY
Are you in a situation with a relative who can't take care of themselves?
Who's going to take care of you if you get sick yourself?
When persons do not have the mental or physical health necessary to make decisions about their finances and personal circumstances, a guardian may be needed.
A guardian is a person acting on his or her behalf.
There are a number of conditions that must be met for a person to have a guardian. There are also many forms of guardianship, and there is often only a need for limited guardianship.
Through the "Familieretshsuet", you can initiate guardianship for people who need it.
However, navigating through the system can be a difficult task for relatives.
We can assist through the "Familieretshuset" process and advise within what type of guardianship should be applied for.
* We also offer the role of guardian in special situations.
