Why can appointing a guardian to a family member lead to quarrels within the family, how can this be prevented and why is it important to pay attention when you are at the beginning of such a procedure?

Adv. Moshe Carmel from the firm of Adv. Ben David Avraham HaCohen, explains.

Why do so many families find themselves in need of a guardian?

"There are several reasons. The first reason - life expectancy increases dramatically and it brings with it many problems. Sometimes people suffer from dementia and are unable to take care of their personal property, so a guardian should be appointed for them. Another reason is that they did not prepare for deterioration "That could have prevented and saved the need to appoint a guardian. It's a much simpler process."

Why should you seek the help of an attorney when entering into such a procedure?

"Many times complex families come to us - a widow or divorcee who is married a second time with children from a first marriage; conflicts between siblings and more. These things lead to tensions and mistrust. Once the need to appoint a guardian arises, the property issue also arises ".

What about a person suffering from dementia and there is tension between his partner and his children from a previous marriage?

"These disputes end up in the person himself as well, and it can affect that person mentally or medically. We see many cases where one party treating that person takes ownership of him and does not allow his or his siblings to see him. In some cases a court application must be made. To allow those visits. "

Is it possible to prevent this?

"A continuing power of attorney can be signed and a financial agreement is also desirable."
