• Resolving contested guardianship disputes among family members while prioritizing the best interests of the ward.
• Guiding appointed guardians through mandatory annual accountings and court reporting requirements under the Texas Estates Code.
• Exploring less restrictive alternatives to guardianship, such as supported decision-making agreements.
