There are countless young people who have not yet reached adult age who face very difficult circumstances in our area. Some are faced with the challenge of significant disabilities or medical problems that makes their care extremely difficult. Others have a parent or parents who for any number of reasons are not able to care for them. The proverbial silver lining for young people in this position is that sometimes there is an adult out there willing to step up and provide this care.
While this is admirable, it should be noted that there is also a legal way to do this to make sure that the person who is taking on this responsibility has the legal authority to make decisions for that child or those children’s care. The best way to get this all handled is to seek the help of a Los Angeles guardianship lawyer so that a valid guardianship arrangement can be put into place.
