Guardianship Matters Handled With Compassionate Care
A Guardianship matter is where an individual(s) petitions the Court to have a Guardian appointed for a loved one or even a third party. The alleged incapacitated person will lack capacity or the ability to handle his/her own financial and/or healthcare needs. Taking on the role of becoming a guardian is a big commitment and responsibility. Every family situation is different and therefore requires a detailed consultation with one of our attorneys to ensure an optimal result.
Our firm, Ronald Fatoullah & Associates, has decades of experience guiding New York families through the process of securing Guardianship. When you meet with us, we will thoroughly discuss your loved one's care requirements and make sure that Guardianship is the right option. We will also work to identify the most appropriate individual(s) to act as Guardian.
Meeting Your Guardianship Needs
As a guardian, you will be required to make financial and healthcare decisions, and estate management choices for your loved one, including decisions about establishing trusts or a will, planning to minimize tax burdens or establishing a Medicaid plan.
Services Available Throughout New York
Don't wait until your loved one is unable to make decisions for themselves to establish Guardianship. Securing their needs today can provide clarity through life's uncertainties and changes. We offer help to families of varying means and circumstances.
Special Needs Planning
Special needs planning involves shaping the future for a child or adult with physical or developmental disabilities. It takes careful and creative planning to properly provide for an individual with a disability. Families want to provide a secure future for their loved ones, and want to preserve any governmental benefits possible, such as SSI and Medicaid.

With over 35 years of legal experience, we are ready to help you plan for a future that allows for as much independence, security and quality of life for your loved one as possible. The law allows for significant flexibility and personalization in Trusts, Wills and Guardianship Proceedings so you can meet the unique needs of your loved one.
