Understanding Guardianship in Oklahoma
A Guardianship is a legal arrangement in which an individual or organization is given the authority to make certain decisions for another person, who is referred to as the "ward." This arrangement is made for the benefit of the ward, and it is intended to protect their assets and personal rights. A guardianship is appointed by the court to make these decisions, and the guardianship
is required to report back to the court on their decisions.
During a guardhianship, the ward will have their rights restricted, and they may have difficulty making decisions and choices. This is why it is so important to have an advocate on your side who understands the law and is ready to help you navigate this confusing time.

When Is a Guardianship Necessary?
A guardianship is a serious legal matter, and it should not be entered into lightly. However, it is sometimes necessary to protect a loved one from financial or personal harm. When the court grants a guardianship, the ward will no longer be able to make their own financial decisions, and a conservator will be appointed to make these decisions for them. This is why it is so important to have a qualified attorney on your side who understands the law and is ready to help you through this process.
A guardianship may be necessary if your loved one is:
Unable to make sound financial decisions
Experiencing an illness that affects their mental health
Experiencing a cognitive decline
Experiencing a substance abuse problem
Experiencing a behavioral issue
Experiencing a financial issue
What Are the Benefits of a Conservatorship?
A conservatorship can be a beneficial arrangement for the ward, as well as for the family members who are trying to care for them. The court will appoint a conservator to make the necessary financial decisions for the ward, and this can help ensure their financial stability. Additionally, the conservator will be required to report back to the court on their decisions, so the court will be able to monitor the conservator's actions.
The benefits of a conservatorship include:The conservator will be required to report back to the court
The conservator will be able to provide the ward with the help they need
