Guardianships & Conservatorships
Protecting vulnerable adults and minors through Nebraska and Iowa court proceedings.
When a loved one, whether an elderly parent, a disabled adult, or a minor child, can no longer make safe decisions for themselves, a guardianship or conservatorship may be necessary to protect their wellbeing and assets. Grevengoed Law PLLC guides families through these court proceedings in Nebraska and Iowa with sensitivity, efficiency, and clear communication.
Adult Guardianship
An adult guardianship grants a guardian the legal authority to make personal decisions, including medical care, living arrangements, and daily activities, for an incapacitated adult. Tyler Grevengoed assists families in filing for guardianship in Nebraska and Iowa courts and guides guardians in fulfilling their ongoing legal duties.
Conservatorship
A conservatorship grants a conservator the authority to manage the financial affairs and assets of a person who is unable to do so themselves. This may be necessary when an elderly parent or disabled adult can no longer manage their finances safely. Tyler helps families establish conservatorships and advises conservators on their fiduciary responsibilities.
Guardianship of Minors
When parents are unable to care for their children, due to illness, incapacity, or other circumstances, a guardianship can ensure the child is cared for by a trusted family member or friend. Grevengoed Law PLLC handles minor guardianship proceedings in Nebraska and Iowa courts.
Alternatives to Guardianship
Guardianship and conservatorship are significant legal interventions. In some cases, less restrictive alternatives, such as a durable power of attorney, medical power of attorney, or representative payee arrangement, may be sufficient to protect a vulnerable person. Tyler will help you evaluate all options before pursuing court proceedings.
