When an aging loved one can no longer safely make personal or medical decisions, a Michigan probate court can appoint a guardian to help manage their daily care, living arrangements, and health decisions. Guardianship is a serious step that limits an adult’s independence, so courts look for clear evidence that help is truly needed and that less restrictive options will not work.

Thomas Legal, PLLC guides families through every stage of the guardianship process—from determining whether a guardianship is appropriate, to preparing and filing the court petition, to attending the hearing and explaining the guardian’s ongoing duties. If you are worried about a parent or other relative’s safety or decision‑making, contact Thomas Legal, PLLC to discuss whether a guardianship is the right step and what alternatives may be available.

Conservatorships in Michigan focus on protecting an adult’s money and property when they can no longer manage finances safely on their own. A probate court can appoint a conservator to handle tasks such as paying bills, managing income, protecting assets, and keeping detailed records, while the individual maintains as much independence as possible in other areas of life.

Thomas Legal, PLLC helps families decide whether a conservatorship is necessary, prepare and file the required court documents, and appear at the hearing to explain the proposed conservator’s role and responsibilities. If you are concerned that an aging loved one is vulnerable to financial mistakes or exploitation, contact Thomas Legal, PLLC to discuss whether a conservatorship—or a less restrictive alternative—makes the most sense for your situation.
