Guardianships

Guardianship Counseling & Dispute Resolution New York

Einbinder & Dunn provides sound guidance and effective legal services to meet a full range of estate planning needs, including the appointment of guardians over minor children and adults who are unable to care for themselves. Understanding the serious and sensitive nature of guardianship decisions, the firm's attorneys help clients who are still engaged in the estate planning process to see the issues clearly and make the most appropriate choices with respect to naming guardians. The firm also advises people who have already been appointed as guardians over minors and incompetent adults.

The firm's guardianship practice also focuses on disputes and litigation. The firm has represented clients petitioning for guardianships as well as challenging wills and trust estates as a result of undue influence. Other cases have seen the firm representing family members and other interested parties in claims involving guardian misconduct.

On a final note, it should be mentioned that members of the firm have been appointed to act as guardians for minors and vulnerable adults on several occasions. This does not happen strictly by chance. New York courts keep a list of attorneys with extensive experience in these matters and appoint attorneys solely from that list.

Einbinder & Dunn also provides local counsel services for individuals and out-of-state law firms with pending guardianship matters in the Surrogate Courts of New York.
