Safeguards Begin With Careful Review.

At Sterling Case Management & Fiduciaries of Arizona we begin with a careful, in depth review of the individual’s needs. With the help of attorneys, physicians and social workers, recommendations can be made to the court.

The court will decide on a variety of key issues, including:

• The appointment of a guardian or conservator
• What limitations should be placed on the guardian’s or conservator’s authority
• Required reports and filings
• Successors to a guardian
• When restoration of rights may be appropriate

All of these decisions are made to ensure the level of protection is in alignment with the individual’s needs and rights. As needs change modifications can be made.

This way, you always have peace of mind knowing that safeguards put in place reflect the true needs of the individual.
