If you suspect financial elder abuse by anyone, including other family members,  we can assist you in establishment or  implementation of  a conservatorship, or to prohibit another person, or revoke someone else’s conservatorship rights in relationship response to actual or perceived financial elder abuse.

When to Avoid  a Conservatorship

The best results are achieved, if you plan early,    While using a power of attorney is the least restrictive alternative to a conservatorship, using a power of attorney does not prevent the elder from acting.   If you have no concerns about the elder acting, and giving away the assets, a power of attorney may be sufficient to avoid a conservatorship.    Power of attorneys are inexpensive and can work in appropriate cases.  At Sirkin Law Group, we offer power of attorney documents, as an alternative to a conservatorship in addition to an estate plan.
