Probate — Guardianship
Guardianship in Brazoria County
When a loved one can no longer make decisions for themselves — or a minor needs a legal guardian — PDR Law can help you understand your options.
When Guardianship May Be Needed
- An elderly parent or family member is no longer able to manage their own medical or financial decisions
- A minor child needs a legal guardian due to the death or incapacity of their parents
- An adult with a disability needs ongoing decision-making support
Alternatives Worth Considering First
Guardianship is a significant legal step that removes certain rights from the protected person, so Texas courts generally expect that less restrictive alternatives — like a power of attorney or supported decision-making agreement — be considered first where appropriate.
