Guardianship
If a loved one or friend is faced with a mental or physical challenge that makes it difficult or impossible for him or her to adequately care for his or her personal or financial needs, a guardianship is an effective tool offering much needed protection. Life is full of unexpected challenges, and when someone can no longer meet their personal and financial needs, a guardianship proceeding under Article 81 may be appropriate. This firm’s guardianship attorney is Christine M. Carsky. Ms. Carsky enjoys a respected reputation for representing individuals needing guardianship and individuals seeking to have a guardian appointed over a loved one or friend. Protection of the individual is always the focus, and Ms. Carsky’s decades of experience in this area have proven invaluable to her clients. Contact Ms. Carsky at 518-581-3200 ext. 305 or [email protected] to discuss how she can assist you or a loved one.
