Our mission is to be a beacon of hope by providing peace of mind to those who need help.

Challenge

There is a significant gap in the availability of support for pro bono guardianship services in our community. Many incapacitated individuals are unable to provide the financial information necessary to access essential services like Medicaid, leading to prolonged hospital stays and delays in receiving proper care. Family First Firm Foundation aims to bridge this gap by offering financial support to professional guardians, enabling them to take on cases for indigent individuals.

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is composed of individuals whose backgrounds consist of more than 25 years of experience in the legal, business, and non-profit arena.

Past Events

Purse Wars Event. 100% of the proceeds went straight to the foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

Are Guardians Entitled To Compensation?

In the majority of cases, immediate family members are appointed as guardians, so they generally choose to serve without compensation. However, if your family decides to appoint a professional guardian, they would be entitled to reasonable compensation for their work. The court would review the guardian’s fee to determine whether it is reasonable under the circumstances.

When Do You Need To Appoint A Legal Guardian?

Loved ones who are incapable of taking care of themselves might need a guardian who will look out for their best interests. A court-appointed guardian is responsible for making legal, financial, and medical decisions for another person (the ward).
When minor children have lost both parents: For example, if your brother and his spouse both died in an accident, and you want their children to be under your care.
When mentally challenged adults need assistance in day-to-day functions: If you have a special needs child, you might want to appoint a guardian who will help them manage their properties.
A person’s cognitive well-being, medical status, ability to make decisions, or ability to take care of their own needs may factor into the decision to appoint a guardian.
