Compassionate Guardianship Legal Services

Defending the Rights of Those Unable to Do So

Tarick Loutfi & Associates provides guardianship administration and litigation to help protect the welfare and rights of those who are incapable of doing so. Guardianship is a timely but worthwhile process which requires constant communication between the client and his or her attorney on the changing needs of the ward.

Whether you wish to establish guardianship of a minor or an adult, defend your status as guardian or believe that someone else would be better suited to care for your loved one, Tarick Loutfi & Associates will help you understand your options and take decisive action – treating you and your family with the compassion and care you deserve.

Helping Chicago Families Protect Their Loved Ones by Establishing Guardianships

Guardianships usually come in two forms — those intended to protect minors and those meant to safeguard the interests of adults. 

At Tarick Loutfi & Associates, we have more than 20 years of experience helping families understand their options when establishing adult guardianships for loved ones with disabilities or guardianships for those of minor children needing protection. 

Giving You the Information You Need to Protect Your Loved One

For many families, they know their loved one requires certain legal protections, but they do not understand the best methods for securing such protections. When you sit down with our attorneys, we will review all aspects of your family's situation as we help you determine the most effective plan when working through any of the following issues:
  • Establishing a guardianship for disabled adults or children — often for children or young adults with autism or muscular dystrophy, or elderly individuals suffering from Alzheimer's or dementia
  • Selecting guardians for minor children as part of the estate planning process
  • Defending against guardianship removal proceedings
  • Initiating proceedings to have a guardian removed

Helping You Choose the Best Option

Guardianships can be complex and there are numerous options and alternatives to consider. For instance, you may wish to establish two guardians for a disabled loved one — one to care for the physical interests of the ward, and the other to provide for the legal and financial issues affiliated with the estate.

At Tarick Loutfi & Associates, we will educate you on the various types and options associated with guardianships and further assist in helping you decide what is best.

Opposition and Removal of a Guardian

Determining who will be appointed the guardian of a disabled loved one can be a contentious issue. In many cases, a family member will voice concerns regarding the capabilities or intentions of an appointed guardian.

If you feel that a loved one has been appointed a guardian that you feel does not best suit the interests of a disabled adult or minor child, we will help you initiate proceedings to have that person removed.
