Conservatorships and Guardianships can be very beneficial when care for an adult or a child becomes necessary. Conservatorships provide support when it comes to oversight of an individual’s finances and asset management. Guardianships, on the other hand, offer care for an individual’s overall well-being including their health and living environment. However, considering the details surrounding the circumstances and people involved, conflicts can arise between families or those who have been placed in conservator or guardianship roles. Each of these positions comes with responsibilities and legal rights and there may be contention if those rights are seen as no longer needed, or there is a change in circumstance.
Inadequate Care or Abuse on Behalf of Guardian or Conservator
Guardianship or conservatorship challenges may arise for a variety of reasons. Oftentimes, one party does not feel the person currently holding authority is qualified or fit for the position. A family member or friend may feel the current guardian or conservator is abusing their privileges and taking advantage of the person in need of support. On the other hand, challenges may arise if it is felt that the guardian or conservator is neglecting their responsibilities and not adequately taking care of the individual or child. If you feel a loved one is not being adequately cared for or are being financially, physically, or emotionally abused, our law firm can help. We understand how important it is to ensure your loved one’s are being taken care of and we can ensure that happens. Our experienced attorneys can help assess the current situation and review your options with you to help you decide the best next steps to take.
Transferring or Terminating Guardianship or Conservatorship Authority
Guardianships and Conservators can be established for a limited or an indefinite amount of time. Depending on the need of the individual and the details surrounding the circumstances, one person may feel the established authority may no longer be necessary. This often happens if a parent is in prison and a grandparent has been given guardianship of a minor child. If and when the parent is released from prison, they often wish to regain guardianship privileges over their child; however, this is not always in the best interests of the child. If you are a parent who would like to terminate current guardianship rights and regain full authority over your child, you have options and our Kansas Family Law firm is here to assist you.
You may also feel the current guardian or conservator is no longer qualified and wish to transfer their rights and authority to another individual. These types of instances often occur if an elderly or vulnerable individual is being taken advantage of or their assets are being exploited or misused. In either situation, this may not always be an easy process, however we can ensure that our assistance will help the process go as smoothly and stress-free as possible.
