Brazos Bend Guardianship Services

Guardian Assistance Program. BBGS provides an assistance program to help families that are up to 250% above the poverty level. The avg. cost for a family to obtain guardianship is $2500. This is cost prohibitive for many families. To qualify for this program, a family must submit an application and provide proof of income. The assistance program is a scholarship program and we are able to offer because of a partnering with some attorneys whove agreed to represent the potential guardian for a reduced rate.

Guardianship Information Sessions. BBGS hosts free regular information sessions in the community to help educate families about obtaining legal guardianship of an incapacitated loved one. Why guardianship may be necessary, the steps involved in obtaining guardianship, a guardians role, and alternatives to guardianship is explained during these sessions. BBGS also discusses the Guardianship Assistance Program available and how families can apply. An attorney is present at these sessions to answer any legal questions the attendees may have.
