Monmouth County Guardianship Dispute Attorney

Asbury Park Elder Law Guardianship Lawyer

When individuals are unable to manage their personal or financial affairs, a legal guardian is critical to preserve their best interests. Adult children or siblings commonly step in to act as a power of attorney or guardian. Unfortunately, differing opinions over a loved one's best interests can lead to bitter guardianship disputes.

At Hoyle Law, LLC, we offer a compassionate approach tempered with sound judgment when handling guardianship disputes in Monmouth County, Ocean County and Middlesex County. We understand the raw emotions involved in disputes over a loved one's future. Our elder law firm seeks to separate out the emotional issues and address critical concerns. Our strategic negotiation skills help us avoid long, drawn-out courtroom battles.

Seeking to Resolve Guardianship Disputes in Central New Jersey

At Hoyle Law, LLC we represent clients seeking to establish a guardianship or conservatorship for an incapacitated parent or developmentally disabled adult. Once a guardianship application is made, a court-appointed attorney is responsible to advocate in the best interests of the senior or the disabled adult. The court normally makes a determination based largely on the recommendations from the court-appointed attorney.

We will act quickly demonstrating to the court-appointed attorney why you should be appointed guardian. Our elder law firm consults social workers who will spend time working with your parent to understand what is in his or her best interests. We will demonstrate why you would be an effective guardian based on your parent's needs outlined in the life care plan. If you have reason to believe another relative would take advantage of your parent, we would demonstrate those concerns to preserve your parent's best interests.
