What are the guardianship alternatives in Texas?

Texas law encourages less restrictive alternatives whenever possible. Alternatives include supported decision-making agreements, where the individual retains control but receives assistance in making decisions; powers of attorney, which authorize someone to act on behalf of the person; and arrangement to act as a representative payee for managing government benefits.

These options often allow individuals to retain more independence, as compared to guardianship. Contact Your Legacy Legal Care® to schedule a strategy session and explore your options.
