Guardianship & Conservatorship

Understanding GUARDIANSHIP

What is Guardianship?
Guardianship is when a court appoints someone to take care of a minor child or an adult who
cannot care for themselves. This person is called a guardian and is responsible for the personal
and medical needs of the individual.

‍

What is Conservatorship?
Conservatorship is when a court appoints someone to manage the financial affairs of a person
who cannot do it themselves. This person is called a conservator and takes care of things like
paying bills, managing property, and handling money.

Testimonials

“I have had the privilege of working with Jennifer in a professional capacity with shared probate clients, as well as being a client myself. Her knowledge and professionalism are exception. Her ability to help navigate and defend her clients during challenging familial situations in probate is impressive. She has personally helped my husband and I plan for our children through a living trust. It is a sensitive and difficult process, but she patiently and compassionately helped us tackle the tough decisions. We are at peace knowing our children will be protected in the event of tragedy. I recommend her for estate planning and probate situations and look forward to maintaining a long lasting professional relationship with her and her team.”

“For the past five years, we have discussed the importance of developing an Estate Plan. We listened to our friends and family as they discussed the process. We were not looking forward to it. Then, we spoke with our accountant who gave us the best tip ever. Meet with Jennifer Sadecki Parison and she will make the experience painless. Wow, how true! We were thrilled with the professional, efficient and detailed Estate Plan that was designed for us by Jennifer. In three meetings, with the price given to us at the first meeting, we completed the process. It was thought provoking and comforting to know that our family’s best interests were met in our Estate Plan. Jennifer is so very knowledgeable, trustworthy and listened to our concerns. She also gave us time to think about areas that we had really never considered. This professionalism, coupled by Jennifer’s legal background, made for a wonderful experience. Thank you, Jennifer. We feel fortunate to have worked with you.” —Steve and Gloria S.

“Jennifer Sadecki Parison has been our Attorney for several years now. She has represented us on a level unlike any lawyer we’ve used before. What we admire about Jennifer is everything she represents as a person and an attorney. She is extremely personable and easy to talk to, therefore has the ability to put you at ease immediately. She can also explain either a confusing document or a potential situation in layman terms which is unbelievably beneficial to those of us that don’t have a degree. Everything that Jennifer has done for us has been above reproach and always exceeds our expectations. She has a perfect balance of tenacity, professionalism and compassion. What wonderful qualities to have wrapped up in one attorney!! I’ve often told her, “You were made for this job!!!” Jennifer, thanks for just being you and all that you’ve done for us… you’re truly the BEST!!!!!”
—Andrew and Michelle S.

“Nearly five years ago, I accepted the position of Durable Power of Attorney for two elderly sisters who were friends of our family. They each had numerous assets compiled of many different types of investments. I had no experience in that role so Jennifer said she would help me learn and carry out my responsibilities. She did an amazing job teaching and helping me every step of the way. After both sisters passed, I then took on the new role of Successor Trustee with the responsibility to convert all assets to cash and distribute it to the various recipients per each sister's Trust. Again, Jennifer and her assistant, Maureen, were invaluable, helping me through the entire process. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend Jennifer and Maureen. They are extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and patient. I was so impressed with the whole process that my wife and I are using them to update our Trust. I wouldn’t even consider using anyone else!”
—Tom M.

“Working with Jennifer to update our trust was such a wonderful and informative experience for us. Jennifer is so knowledgeable and professional in everything she does. Could not have asked for a better Attorney and Counselor at Law. Thank you!”
