Guardian of
A Person

….

A guardian of the person is a guardian whose responsibilities are to care for a person’s physical and personal needs, such as residence decisions, monitor medical treatment, non-medical services such as education, social activities, coordination of care and services, aid with critical medical care and end-of-life decisions and to secure and manage benefits such as SSI, Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security Benefits.

The court monitors guardians and guardians are to provide these services in the least restrictive manner while preserving assets when possible. The court decides which of these responsibilities are granted to the professional guardian.

Guardian of
Property

….

When the court appoints a guardian of the estate or property, the guardian maybe assigned the responsibilities of overseeing personal property, tangible and intangible, and anything that may be the subject of ownership. This may include managing and protection of assets, protection of property and assets from loss, income management, management of bill payments, other disbursements, assist with court approved property sales and liquidation.

Guardian Advocate
for Disabled

….

Guardian Advocacy is a process for family members, professional guardians, caregivers, or friends of individuals with developmental disability to obtain the legal authority to act on their behalf if the person lacks the decision-making ability to do some, but not all, of the decision-making tasks necessary to take care of a person or a property.

A person with developmental disability must have an Intellectual Disability (IQ less than 70), Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Spina Bifida, Down Syndrome, Phelan-McDermid Syndrome, or Prader-Willi Syndrome that manifested before the age of 18, and that constitutes a substantial handicap which can reasonably be expected to continue indefinitely.

Volunteer Guardian
for Minors & Aged

….

The court can appoint a volunteer guardian without adjudication of incapacity. Volunteer guardians are appointed as guardian of the property or a person who is mentally competent, but is incapable of the care, custody, and management of his or her estate by reason of age or physical infirmity and who has voluntarily petitioned for the appointment.

Such guardianship petitions shall be accompanied by a certificate of a licensed physician specifying that he or she has examined the person and that the person is competent to understand the nature of the guardianship and his or her delegation of authority. A volunteer guardian may have all the duties of a guardian of property.

Testimonials

“Engulfed with despair, fear, anxiety, restless nights, and overwhelming sense of helplessness. Those feelings crippled me daily, not knowing what next steps to take, I felt like I was on a deserted island, not wanting to fail my loved one. Thankfully a family member put me in touch with Mr. Homer Hartage. All those negative feelings dissipated after having just one conversation.

Mr. Hartage gave a detailed explanation of my options, which allowed me to make informed decisions about the best options for my family. Again, thank you so much Mr. Hartage for picking up the phone to answer my questions and putting my mind at ease, thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge.

Finally, thank you, sir, for your kindness. During the most stressful times in my life, you answered my call for help. May God shower you and your family with continuous blessings.”

“In the minds of us all as we age and ponder a future time when we too may need a caring hand.  Should you have to make the difficult decision for yourself, a loved one or a friend because they have been judged to lack the capacity or unable to manage their own affairs due to mental or physical incapacity that could be the moment you consider a guardian.” Gordon H. Smith
