Almost all families have at least one vulnerable member due to age or disability. Most cases involve children with broken families or elderly citizens incapacitated by old age of sickness. In such a case where people are considered incapable of making proper decisions to care for themselves, federal law allows the meticulous selection of an appointed guardian to make those decisions. 

Guardians can sign legal documents for the family member they represent and negotiate with other legal entities for them. Their legal decision-making powers can either be limited or full. 

One of the most important decisions a guardian will make for the child or elder is the management of their financial like, such as assets, debts, liabilities, pension funds, retirement and estate. They also decide on medical, health, insurance and long-term care issues, especially when the person they take care of has special or medical needs. 

For those planning to become a guardian, your Miami guardianship attorney at Cass & Ramos can help you get the legal approval for your guardianship. It begins with a petition that we can help draft to ensure that your arguments will compel the courts and that all legal requirements are met in the filing. 

You will also have to face a judge and share your testimony to prove two things: that you are capable of guardianship and that the person you will take care of is truly incapable of self-reliance. We can represent you in front of the court and in other necessary legal meetings and correspondence to ensure that your rights and interests are properly defended.
