Guardianships & Conservatorships
When Someone You Love Needs Help, We’re Here to Guide You
Sometimes life throws us a curve ball:
A child inherits property.
A young adult with special needs turns 18.
An older adult faces a sudden medical crisis.
In moments like these, families often need legal authority to step in and help.
​
At Southeastern Law LLC, we help you understand your options, navigate the court process,
and step into the right role with confidence and compassion.
​
Turning uncertainty into a plan—and worry into confidence.
Conservatorships for Minors
Helping create a secure path forward for children in uncertain times.
​
When a minor inadvertently inherits property that needs to be sold,
the court requires a conservator be appointed to handle
the child's interest in the property and the proceeds.
​
We assist with:
Filing and navigating court procedures
Handling the sale of the property
Navigating the creation of a conservator account
Understanding ongoing reporting duties
​
Our focus is simple: do what’s best for the child, every step of the way.
Guardianships & Conservatorships for Special Needs Adults
Turning 18 should be a cause for celebration--not a cause for more stress.
​
When a person with disabilities becomes an adult,
parents and caregivers lose the legal authority to make
medical, financial, or educational decisions—even if their loved one still needs help.
​
We help families:
Understand whether guardianship and/or conservatorship is necessary
Explore less-restrictive alternatives (like supported decision-making or powers of attorney)
File petitions and prepare for hearings
Provide ongoing compliance with annual reporting requirements
​
We listen, we learn your story, and we create a plan that actually works for your family.
