Understanding Guardianship in Indiana

A guardian is a person appointed by a court to make decisions for another person who is legally incapacitated. 

Indiana law provides for two types of guardianships:

  • Family – A family guardian is appointed to make decisions about the day-to-day living arrangements of a disabled adult.
  • Property – A property guardian is appointed to make decisions about the financial affairs of a disabled adult.

When deciding who should be appointed as a guardian, the court will consider the wishes of the disabled adult. The court will also consider the ability of the proposed guardian to carry out the responsibilities of the position. If the disabled adult's wishes conflict with the appointment of the guardian, the court will consider the best interests of the disabled adult.

Types of Guardianship in Indiana

When it comes to guardianship in Indiana, there are different types that may apply depending on the specific circumstances. Understanding these types can help you make informed decisions and ensure the best outcome for your loved ones. Our experienced Indianapolis guardianship lawyers can guide you through the different options and help you determine the most suitable guardianship arrangement.

1. Guardianship of a Minor

If a child's parents are unable or unwilling to care for them, a guardian can be appointed to make important decisions regarding their upbringing, education, and healthcare. Our dedicated guardianship attorney can assist you in navigating the legal process and advocating for the best interests of the child.

2. Guardianship of an Adult

In some cases, an adult may be unable to make decisions for themselves due to physical or mental incapacity. Guardianship of an adult involves appointing a responsible individual to make decisions regarding their personal affairs, finances, and healthcare. Our skilled guardianship lawyer can help you establish guardianship and ensure the well-being of your loved one.

3. Limited Guardianship

In situations where an individual only requires assistance with specific areas of their life, such as managing finances or medical decisions, a limited guardianship may be appropriate. This allows for a tailored approach to ensure the individual's autonomy while still providing necessary support. Our compassionate guardianship attorney can guide you through the process and protect the rights of the individual.

4. Emergency Guardianship

In urgent situations where immediate action is required to protect an individual's well-being, emergency guardianship can be sought. This allows for the appointment of a guardian on a temporary basis until a more permanent solution can be established. Our responsive guardianship lawyer can assist you in obtaining emergency guardianship to ensure the safety and welfare of your loved one.
