Why use DIY Guardianship?
According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, crimes against people with disabilities are increasing, and people with disabilities are more likely to be victims of violent crime and exploitation than people without disabilities.
If your family determines that guardianship is the best option for your loved one, DIY has broken the guardianship process down into "5 Simple Steps" to give you information, short-cuts, and confidence.
The guardianship application process can be costly, labor intensive, confusing, and intimidating. It is a legal process where attorneys' fees are a minimum of $3,500 for the Protected Person and an additional $3500+ if the Petitioner/Applicant retains one, too. Additionally, court costs and fees can quickly exceed $1000, including: filing fees, court investigator costs, service of process costs, and copying and certified document fees.
DIY Guardianship reduces the cost, time, and frustration beginning with requesting a fee waiver, and ending with post-hearing tasks.
For the MAJORITY of guardianship applications, you don't need to hire an attorney -- you just need guidance from one.
