Legal frameworks to protect minor children or incapacitated adults, ensuring they receive proper care and oversight.
Guardianship is a court-supervised legal relationship in which one person is authorized to make personal and sometimes financial decisions for another who lacks legal capacity — whether due to minority, developmental disability, mental illness, or age-related decline.
In Oregon, guardianship proceedings are initiated in the circuit court of the county where the protected person resides. Whether you are seeking guardianship of a minor child or an incapacitated adult, the process requires careful legal preparation and ongoing court compliance.
Types of Guardianship We Handle
- Minor Guardianship: When parents are deceased, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to care for their children
- Adult Guardianship: For individuals who can no longer make safe personal decisions due to incapacity
- Limited Guardianship: Tailored authority that preserves the protected person's autonomy to the greatest extent possible
- Emergency Guardianship: Expedited proceedings for immediate protective needs
We assist petitioners throughout the process — from filing the initial petition and gathering supporting evidence to representing you at the hearing and advising on the ongoing duties of a court-appointed guardian.
