Guardianship Services in Pennsylvania
Do you Need a Guardianship in PA?
In the unfortunate event that your loved one becomes unable to make decisions for themselves before preparing the necessary documents (Financial Durable Power of Attorney and/or Health Care Powers of Attorney) that direct his/her choices, or is a Special Needs Child/Adult, a guardianship may be needed. A guardian is a person, usually a family member or close friend, appointed by the court to oversee the personal and/or financial needs of an incapacitated person.
