Beavercreek Guardianship Attorney
Guardianship Attorneys in Beavercreek, OH
When an individual handles the affairs of a minor or incapacitated adult, it is known as a Guardianship. Minors, under the age of 18, may require a Guardian if they receive $25,000 or more through an insurance company or inheritance. An adult who can no longer handle his or her finances and make personal decisions could also require a Guardian. Guardianships are heavily scrutinized by Probate Courts, therefore, the Guardian could also require representation. The Lovett & House attorneys have handled Guardianships for adults and minors in several Ohio counties. If you require a Beavercreek guardianship attorney, we can help!

Who Needs a Guardian?
When an illness, injury, or disability makes it difficult—or impossible—for an individual to make decisions regarding his or her own health care, finances, living arrangements, or other matters, they should seek a guardian. As examples:
- An individual who was in an accident or has an illness that resulted in a coma
- An individual with an intellectual disability
- A person who is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia
- An individual that has had a stroke with severe consequences
- A person that has suffered a traumatic brain injury
The court will hold a hearing and look at all the facts before determining an individual is incapacitated and requires a Guardian. If the court finds the individual is unable to clearly communicate his or her wishes about finances, health care, living arrangements and/or personal matters, a Guardian could be appointed.
What are the Different Types of Guardianships?
The following are the various types of guardianships available:
- Guardianship of the Estate—allows the Guardian to make all financial decisions for the individual in question
- Guardianship of the Person—allows the Guardian to make personal, day-to-day decisions for the individual in question, including making arrangements for food, clothing, living, education, medical care, and recreation.
- Guardianship of Person and Estate—(General Guardian) gives the Guardian authority to make virtually all decisions for the individual in question
