Capacity, Guardianships, Contested Wills

Florham Park, New Jersey, Guardianship Attorneys

It's not uncommon for families to move from one area of the country to the next due to job responsibilities and employment opportunities. As a result, more and more elderly Americans find themselves living on their own late into their lives. When their health begins to fail or when dishonest neighbors, health care providers, or acquaintances manipulate them, it may be necessary to establish a guardianship to protect their estate and interests. The law office of Levine & Levine helps families establish legal guardianships and powers of attorney in cases where competency and undue influence is a concern. Consulting psychiatrist and geriatric specialists, our estate planning lawyers prepare and collect evidence and testimony needed to establish a guardianship, contest a will, or address issues of capacity and undue influence in regard to your elderly family member.
