Guardianships

For Adults: These petitions are filed on behalf of individuals over 18 who need assistance in making life decisions and/or assistance in caring for themselves. In some cases, a guardian may also need to seek permission from the Court in order to obtain, or to have the incapacitated person take, anti-psychotic medication.

For Children: These petitions are filed by adults who seek to care for a minor child. Having legal guardianship of a child allows the guardian to obtain medical care for the child and to make decisions about the child’s care and custody. 

Appointments available in Boston and Woburn, Massachusetts.
Virtual appointments are offered for New York state mediation and collaborative law clients.
