Guardianship Services

Life Essentials

Guardianship Services

The Life Essentials guardianship program provides support for seniors who have been deemed mentally incompetent and who do not have family willing or capable of making sound decisions for them.

Life Essentials cannot accept referrals from individuals such as family members or neighbors; the program only takes referrals from providers. Persons seeking to get an individual into guardianship are referred on to the Probate Court or to the Volunteer Lawyers Project (VLP) or to the Dayton Bar Association for information and assistance. Life Essentials cannot provide legal advice, nor can we escort applicants to court.

For a guardianship referral to be warranted, the individual must be incapacitated and unable to manage his or her own financial resources and/or unable to make informed medical decisions. A referral form must be completed and there must be a Statement of Expert Evaluation signed by the proposed ward’s doctor or psychiatrist.

Life Essentials staff and trained volunteers take on the critical role as guardian, working with their clients to ensure that each individual has the best possible life and lives in the least restrictive environment. Guardians become the advocate and voice for those who are unable to speak for themselves.

In addition to fulfilling the role of guardian, the Life Essentials guardianship program provides support to family members and/or friends who are willing and capable of becoming the guardian for a loved one.


Guardianship Forms


  • Guardianship Referral Form
  • Greene County Statement of Expert Evaluation
  • Montgomery County Statement of Expert Evaluation

Eligibility


Potential clients must have resided in Montgomery or Greene County for at least six months, and must be deemed mentally incompetent by the Probate Court Judge or Magistrate. Life Essentials cannot accept referrals from individuals such as family members or neighbors; the program only takes referrals from providers.

Unfortunately, this program cannot serve those who have assets (home, car, bank account) and need a Guardian of Estate.
