Queens Guardianship Lawyer: Clear, Compassionate Help
I’m Richard Cary Spivack, and I help families secure Guardianship when an adult or child needs protection with health, finances, or daily care. If you’re worried about a parent with dementia or a young adult with special needs, I’ll walk you through every step from my office at 118-21 Queens Boulevard, Suite 504, Forest Hills, NY 11375.
When Guardianship Makes Sense
- An aging parent can’t safely manage money or medical care.
- A person with developmental disabilities is turning 18 and needs continued support.
- A medical crisis at Elmhurst Hospital or NewYork‑Presbyterian Queens revealed gaps in decision‑making.
If a Power of Attorney or Health Care Proxy isn’t enough—or doesn’t exist—Guardianship can provide the legal authority to act quickly and responsibly.
How I Guide You, Start to Finish
- Listen to your concerns and explain options in plain language.
- Gather medical and financial records that support the petition.
- File for the correct form of Guardianship and handle court notices.
- Prepare you for the hearing and coordinate with court evaluators.
- Create practical plans for budgets, benefits, and care.
- Support annual reports and ongoing compliance so you stay on track.
