Guardianship

Protecting people. Respecting their needs.

Guidance for Texas families evaluating guardianship of an adult or minor, including available alternatives and court-supervised responsibilities.

Guardianship is a serious legal intervention. We help families understand when it may be appropriate and what responsibilities follow.

A careful first assessment

The court considers the person’s needs, available supports, and relevant legal requirements. Guardianship is not always the only option.

Petition and court process

Potential guardians may face training, notice requirements, investigations, hearings, and qualification procedures.

Responsibilities after appointment

A court-appointed guardian may have ongoing reporting, accounting, and other obligations that deserve attention at the outset.

Explore your options

The first step is understanding the situation, then identifying which legal tools apply.
