I just spoke with a client whose father was falsely reported to Adult Protective Services as having no family and needing a court-appointed guardian. None of it was true. He has multiple children and daily family support.

Situations like this happen more than people realize. Without proper estate planning, outsiders can try to involve the court and seek expensive guardianships.

Having clear powers of attorney and estate documents helps protect you and your loved ones from unnecessary court control.
