Guardianship Legal Services from Lifetime Achievement Award Winner – Donald D. Vanarelli, Esq.
Legal Guardianships to Protect Your Loved Ones
Injury or illness, whether it comes on suddenly or over a long period of time, can impair a person’s ability to manage his or her own life. If a loved one has become incapacitated, you may need to seek guardianship in order to manage his or her affairs.
In some situations, a guardianship may be needed when no power of attorney was ever signed, or when the power of attorney is limited and prevents you from attaining your goals for your loved one.
Vanarelli & Li, LLC serves the Union County, NJ area to help the elderly, the disabled, and their loved ones effectively plan for the future. Contact Vanarelli & Li, LLC to establish a plan for the future. Call us today at 908-232-7400.
New Jersey Guardianship Legal Services
Guardianship lets you handle the responsibilities that can no longer be shouldered by your loved one. Guardianship of the person allows the appointee to arrange for the health and safety of the ward; while guardianship of the estate lets the appointee take on financial matters on behalf of the ward. You can either seek guardianship personally, or delegate the duties of guardianship to a third party, including Vanarelli & Li, LLC, Esq.
