Fight For Your Legal Guardianship Status
Guardianship is a very important legal process that names one person as the caregiver of another, either because the subject of the guardianship is not old enough or not able to care for themselves. Children, the intellectually disabled and vulnerable adults often need a guardian to advocate for them legally, medically and in other areas of their lives. Arkansas courts take this role very seriously and take steps to appoint responsible individuals as guardians only when necessary.
If you believe your loved one needs a guardian, you should prepare for a rigorous legal process. At Natural State Trial Attorneys, our attorneys are highly experienced and can guide you through the guardianship process while making it as smooth as possible for your family.

Guardianships For Children
Sometimes parents aren’t able to give their children the care and attention they need. This could be because of terminal illness, addiction or mental limitations. In these cases, a guardian can step in to provide proper care. Filing for guardianship of a minor requires:
- Consent of the parent or substantial evident of the parents’ inability to care for the child
- Review of your fitness to care for the child
- A safety evaluation of your home
- Evidence of your relationship with the child
