This may be for a child, an adult with intellectual or developmental disabilities, or an adult who becomes incapacitated. The Law Offices of Michael J. Alber P.C. can assist with the different types of guardianships petitions.

  • Guardianship for a minor: A minor may need a legal guardian when a parent dies, leaves the country, or becomes too sick to care for the child.
