Since a guardianship takes away a person’s rights and cannot easily be undone; Catholic Charities believes it is crucial that less restrictive alternatives are implemented first. Direct guardianship services are only provided as a last resort when all other options have been exhausted and there are no other means of protecting the individual. Some alternatives to Guardianship are our money management services or referrals to other agencies. Additionally, Catholic Charities offers wills & advanced planning services for anyone who is in need of legal assistance and guidance with life affairs planning; including will preparation and durable powers of attorney. If available alternatives are not suitable options; then Catholic Charities will establish legal guardianships for qualified individuals and provided case management services to those enrolled.
