Unfortunately, as we age, the possibility of developing dementia, Alzheimer’s, or other illnesses can make legal guardianship necessary. However, an adult can experience a terrible accident or a crippling sickness anytime during their lifetime. Similarly, parents may need to set up guardianship for a child with special needs or developmental difficulties.

Family members frequently need to intervene and take action to get legal authority to handle a loved one’s affairs when that person can no longer make critical decisions for themselves. To manage their loved one’s financial affairs and/or make choices regarding their health care, and assets a family member or other concerned adult may need to be designated as their guardian.

Get Legal Authority to Care for Your Family Member

Guardianships are frequently required to give loved ones the legal ability to handle financial, personal, and healthcare matters. A guardianship may be necessary if an adult becomes incapacitated and does not have a living will, powers of attorney, trust paperwork to handle assets or other estate planning tools. You can get assistance from our guardianship and probate lawyers at every stage of the procedure. In Illinois, the following are the most typical causes for guardianship applications:


  • Due to mental decline, mental disease, or physical infirmity, an adult loved one can no longer make decisions for themselves.
  • When a young person with special needs reaches the age of 18, their mental or physical disabilities prevent them from making significant decisions about their personal care or money in adulthood.
  • A minor child who has lost both parents requires a guardian to care for them.

We have over 40 years of experience navigating the Illinois courts since 1980. To navigate the intricate procedure quickly, Zapolis & Associates, P.C. will work with you to develop a strong case. Your attorney will always be available to you. We aim to give you the advocacy and assistance you need to get the best results possible.
