La Crosse Elder Law and Guardianship Attorney
When a person can not manage his or her affairs, a guardianship or conservatorship may be necessary. These legal vehicles empower another person (usually a family member) to make necessary decisions about such things as the incapacitated person's living arrangements, health care and financial affairs.
The Law Offices of James W. McNeilly, Jr. LLC provide advice and services in the areas of elder law and estate planning to people throughout Western Wisconsin. We help our clients put in place the legal vehicles necessary to provide for the personal, health care and financial needs of minor children, disabled adult children and incapacitated adults.

Making the Right Decision
The decision to establish a guardianship is an important one; especially in the case of elderly people who have lived independently all their adult lives. A lawyer at the Law Offices of James W. McNeilly, Jr. LLC can review your loved one's situation, explain your options and help you make the right decisions about the care of your loved one. We have helped many people establish guardianships and conservatorships and can take all the necessary steps to obtain these for you.
Avoiding the Need for a Guardianship
A guardianship can be inconvenient in that it requires a return to court when even a relatively minor decision must be made. Our firm can help you avoid the need for a guardianship through the use of a durable power of attorney or a trust. The durable power of attorney in particular can be very useful. Various safeguards can be built into a power of attorney that can provide peace of mind for other family members and which also provide for continuity. We can develop the durable power of attorney or trust that accomplishes your goals.
