How to Establish Guardianship in Harris County

Navigating the various ins and outs of guardianship can be confusing. Sometimes they can be voluntary and other times they can be involuntary, such as after a person becomes suddenly disabled or when a minor child is not receiving care from his or her parents.

In order to establish the guardianship, a petition must be filed with the probate court. You must have the necessary evidence to illustrate the need for guardianship, such as a letter from their physician. The court works to act in the individual's best interest and we are here to help you ensure they have all of the necessary information to protect your rights.

We can help you understand every aspect of guardianship, including the responsibilities of the guardian:

• Initiate lawsuits for the minor or ward
• Apply for public housing for the minor or ward
• Provide necessities for the minor or ward
• Ensuring the dependant has proper shelter
