Cohen & Oalican, LLP specializing in elder law, guardianship and conservatorship present the final article of the series:

"Do I need to become a guardian for my parent?"

Even if your parent has already been diagnosed as suffering from Alzheimer’s or has dementia that does not automatically mean you need to be come their guardian. The first question to look at is whether your parent has enough understanding to sign a durable power of attorney or healthcare proxy. Our goal is to help families in the simplest, most cost effective way possible. Using advanced directives instead of guardianship is one way to do so.

Cohen & Oalican provide a full spectrum of services for the elderly, for disabled adults, and for the families.
