What is a guardianship?

Guardianships are court supervised administrations of living people.  Guardianship is typically either of a person or of a person’s financial and legal life.  All guardians are required to post a bond (or deposit money with the county clerk) and to take an oath to “well and truly perform” the duties of a guardian.  All guardians must also file detailed annual reports to the court which are reviewed by the court staff and eventually approved by a judge.

Flynn knows how to shepherd families through the technical guardianship process.
