Podcasts about guardianship law

Looking forward to HYLA's Pro Bono Guardianship Project, in partnership with Houston Volunteer Lawyers, Femi and Patrick are joined by Stephanie Sommerlatte and Henry Sturm of HVL. Stephanie and Henry join us to talk about the state of guardianship law in Texas and the importance of guardianship cases--and the need for volunteer attorneys to help out with them. In the majority of these taken by HVL, clients are parents of children with disabilities, who are turning 18. A guardianship is needed to ensure that a parent can continue to make necessary decisions on behalf of their child. HYLA is partnering with HVL for its Pro Bono Guardianship Project in an effort to mobilize its members to take on a case. The project will kick off on March 24th, but interested attorneys are welcome to volunteer afterwards as well. Stephanie and Henry will be helping guide attorneys through their cases. For morn information, please go to HYLA's website (hyla.org) or email Kelly Hanen (kelly.hanen@bakerbotts.com). You can also contact HVL at their website (https://www.makejusticehappen.org/) or email Stephanie (stephanie.sommerlatte@hvlp.org) Stephanie has been an attorney at HVL for over 10 years, spending now several of those years as a Supervising Attorney and Supervising Attorney for Medical Legal Partnerships, where she works on many guardianship cases. Henry is a pro bono fellow for Hunton Andrews Kurth; he is in his second year working with HVL and has work on a variety of different kinds of cases and projects during this time.

The court-appointment of a surrogate/substitute decision maker for a person over the age of 18 who is unable to make decisions due to any degree of incapacity is known as guardianship. When an individual hits the age of 18, they are granted all of the legal rights that adults have.

Margot Roberts is a solo practitioner who focuses on guardianship law – and I'll admit that, after filing a petition for guardianship, I wasn't really sure what the practice area entailed. So, this was an extremely enlightening conversation for me, in regards to what guardianship law is all about and how a solo practitioner can build a successful practice, and I hope you learn as much as I did.   Resources: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/margot-e-roberts-708955149/   If you've enjoyed the podcast, please head to Apple Podcasts and leave a rating & review for the show!
