Guiding You Through The Guardianship Process

A guardianship can be a powerful tool for taking care of an elderly loved one, a child or even yourself if need arises. However, a guardianship involves a significant loss of individual liberty and it needs to be handled with extraordinary care. Only let an experienced, knowledgeable attorney assist you with establishing a guardianship.

At The Powell Law Firm, we have handled a range of guardianships, estate planning and probate matters for clients throughout the Pearland and Houston areas of Texas. Our lawyers have more than 20 years of experience to the benefit of our clients. We represent guardians and proposed wards in all types of guardianship issues that arise in the process.

Guardianship Rights And Options

A guardianship is a legal instrument intended to protect people who are unable to make decisions on their own, whether through age, incapacity or disability. There can be guardianships of the person, in which the guardian handles the personal affairs of the ward, and guardianships of the estate, in which the guardian handles the financial affairs for the ward.

There are guardianships available for adults and minors. Adult guardianships are common for elderly or those with special needs, put into effect when an adult does not possess the ability to make or communicate decisions on his own or her own. Since minors are not old enough to make legally binding decisions on their own, it is common for people to create guardianships for their minor children as part of their comprehensive estate plans.

There are many options and considerations when establishing a guardianship. The experienced attorneys from our firm can help you understand your rights and make smart decisions in your case. Talk to an experienced attorney from our firm today.

What Our Clients
Have To Say

  • “I wanted to take the time to thank you [John Powell III] for helping me through a tough time in my life. Your guidance and voice of reason really helped me more than you will ever know. I had a previous attorney that I felt could have really cared less about me or the situation. Once on board with you, I felt an immediate difference and I was thankful for your quick response. I could not have finished this process without you and I am glad you were able to have so much hands on time with me. Again, thank you for everything you did for me and my son!”

    (S.R.)

  • “John Powell III was very helpful through the entire process of my divorce which involved a custody fight over my 3-year-old daughter. Mr. Powell has a strong working rapport with the Brazoria County family court. He was very patient, walking me through every step, knowing what to expect from my wife's attorney. We were ultimately successful and I would highly recommend him. As for my daughter, she is doing great. She has advanced to the preschool 2 class early, she is now 3.5 and now goes to school with the 4-5 year old's. Her emotional and behavioral issues have disappeared. Thanks to Mr. Powell's hard work my daughter will have a great chance at life.”

    (K.K.)

  • “Just wanted to say thanks for handling my post-divorce property division issue in a timely and professional manner. Especially your attention to detail and some quick-witted humor as well. Your firm was referred to us by a friend which can always be somewhat awkward but you made us feel at ease through the entire process. I would not hesitate to recommend your firm to anyone if the need arises.”

    (J.B.)

  • “Dear Mr. Powell: I want to thank you for your great service and express my gratitude. I am extremely pleased how everything was handled and I have the highest possible opinion about your professionalism, the quality of your service and your attitude toward me as a client. Thank you again, best regards.”

    (M.K.S.)

  • “I had what I learned was not your stereotypical divorce case. John Powell III was extremely understanding of the situation and worked with myself and my former spouse to navigate the legal pitfalls in our, and our children's case. Everything was resolved amicably and with minimal impact to our family. Without Mr. Powell's assistance I do not know that we would have gotten to such a positive place.”

    (A.W.)

  • “John Powell III is a compassionate and thorough attorney. My case was a complex custody issue that required work in two wide-spread counties. Mr. Powell was able to efficiently overcome this added challenge. He is patient and clear in explaining concepts of the law. Even after the case was closed, Mr. Powell was available to explain the final judgment and to help ensure we were following the Judge's intent. It is very comforting to know that if additional issues arise he is there to act as my advocate.”

    (R.T.)
