Guardianship Scotland helps individuals and families across Scotland access legal support in relation to adult guardianship and incapacity matters.
When an adult is no longer able to make decisions about their welfare or financial affairs due to illness, disability, dementia, brain injury or other incapacity, formal legal authority may be required. This can involve applying for a Guardianship Order or, in urgent situations, Emergency Guardianship under the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000.
Understanding what type of legal authority is needed — and how to apply for it — can feel overwhelming, particularly at times of stress or crisis.
Guardianship Scotland acts as a referral and connection service. We help individuals and families make contact with experienced Scottish solicitors who regularly handle:
• Adult Guardianship Orders
• Emergency Guardianship Applications
• Intervention Orders
• Financial and Welfare Powers
• Sheriff Court applications under incapacity legislation
We aim to connect enquiries with solicitors familiar with the relevant local Sheriff Court and procedures wherever possible. Coverage includes Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen, Fife and surrounding areas across Scotland.
Our service is intended to make it easier to access appropriate legal assistance when adult guardianship or incapacity issues arise.
Initial enquiries are treated confidentially.
Submit an enquiry with us and be contacted by an experienced solicitor.
