Who We Are
The attorneys at Martin Wren are experienced representing parties in Virginia guardianship and conservatorship proceedings. Under Virginia law, a guardian or conservator can be appointed once a court determines that the individual who is the subject of the guardianship or conservatorship proceeding—called a “respondent”—is “incapacitated.” An adult respondent is incapacitated under Virginia law when that person has been determined by a court to be “incapable of receiving or evaluating information effectively or responding to people, events, or environments to such an extent that the individual lacks the capacity” to perform the basic requirements for his health, care, safety and other needs without assistance of another.
