When a loved one becomes unable to make important healthcare or financial decisions and has not previously signed powers of attorney, court involvement may be necessary. In these situations, a guardianship can provide a legal framework to protect their well-being and ensure responsible decision-making.

Guardianship matters often arise during stressful and emotional times. Whether you are seeking to be appointed as a guardian or responding to a guardianship petition filed by someone else, having experienced legal guidance can make a meaningful difference. Our team helps families navigate Wisconsin’s guardianship process with clarity, care, and respect for everyone involved.

Jennifer R. Lasky

Our attorneys assist with a full range of guardianship matters in Wisconsin, including:
  • Petitions for guardianship of the person and/or estate

  • Guidance on ongoing guardian duties and court requirements

We focus on practical solutions while remaining sensitive to the family dynamics and emotions that often accompany these cases.

Wisconsin Guardianship Representation

Guardianship may be required when an individual is no longer able to manage personal, medical, or financial affairs due to incapacity and no valid planning documents are in place. Common situations include:
  • Sudden illness or injury
  • Progressive cognitive decline
  • Aging without prior estate planning
  • Disputes over who should serve as guardian

Because guardianship involves court oversight and the removal of certain personal rights, it is often considered a last resort. We help clients understand their options and pursue the approach that best protects their loved one.
