Understanding Guardianship & Conservatorship
Whether you’re caring for an aging parent, supporting a spouse facing illness, or protecting a child with disabilities when they turn 18, assuming responsibility for someone else’s wellbeing can feel overwhelming. The legal steps involved in guardianship or conservatorship in Oregon often include court petitions, evaluations, hearings, and ongoing reporting — all while you’re trying to make compassionate, thoughtful choices for your loved one. Without clear guidance, the process can quickly become confusing, emotionally draining, and difficult to navigate.
With the right legal support, you can ensure your loved one’s rights, dignity, and safety are protected while confidently fulfilling your role as their guardian or conservator.
You don’t have to navigate it alone.
I’ll walk beside you through every step, helping you protect your loved one’s dignity while fulfilling your responsibility with compassion and confidence.
