Understanding Guardianships and Conservatorships in Franklin County, Missouri

Guardianships and conservatorships exist to protect those who can no longer manage personal or financial matters. These arrangements may be appropriate for individuals who are incompetent, disabled, struggling with addiction, or for minors in specific circumstances. Once established, a guardian or conservator is empowered to make decisions and safeguard the individual or their assets.

Common situations where a guardianship or conservatorship may be necessary include:

An elderly person becomes unable to care for themselves and has no prior power of attorney in place.

A minor receives an inheritance or settlement that requires oversight because the parents cannot manage the funds.

A young adult with special needs turns 18 and requires continued assistance with medical or financial decisions.

To obtain a guardianship, the court generally requires proof of incapacity, which may include medical records, physician statements, and related documentation.

Each Guardianship Case Is Handled With Great Care

Every guardianship or conservatorship is a significant legal matter. For many, gaining legal authority over a loved one’s personal or financial decisions offers much-needed peace of mind. It ensures the individual is protected from financial exploitation and receives proper support in making decisions that affect their well-being.

These cases can also become emotionally charged when relatives disagree about the steps that should be taken. At Stange Law Firm, PC, we recognize the stress these situations create. Our attorneys work closely with each client to ensure that their rights, concerns, and priorities remain at the forefront.
