Thank you for this detailed information.

There is a lot of fraud in guardianship especially with court appointed public guardians. Do you homework before you rush into guardianship. Not everyone is altruistic in reasons for placing a vulnerable, WEALTHY elder under guardianship.

To obtain guardianship of a parent with dementia can I fill out the forms myself or must a hire a lawyer. If so can someone recommend a serious and reliable? What are the documents required?

My husband and I are concerned about his mother, she is mentally ill has good days and bad days. lately she has been having episodes and she is not spending her money responsibly. she needs a care taker to come in and help her or remind her to do everyday living activities such as cleaning and showering when we try to help she get defensive and flips out. :( its heart breaking. My husband stays away because he doesn't want to deal with it. i feel its my duties to get her in a clean safe environment where she doesn't have to worry. Make sure her bills are paid and she has everything she needs. she paid the neighbor boy ( hes 9 yrs old ) $300 to shovel her drive way one time. things like this makes us question her capability to be responsible for her own finances. what do we do? please help.. how do we get start the process of
becoming her guardian?

Where do I go to start the process of aging parents in Detroit Michigan?

If you or someone you know is the victim of elder financial abuse, you may want to do your homework about this and even guardianship abuse. After listening to the radio show, I learned there's a little known secret that's being kept from us on how to get a fair trial and demanding to be heard before a grand jury to overturn abusive guardianship and also unneeded guardianship. When you find out you're being targeted, you have only 10 to 15 days to take proper action. By time words appear in court with their guardians, they've already been drugged so bad they're pretty much out of it. Another thing to be very wary of is they usually target the wealthy and kidnapped our elders only to spend down and steal money and assets. Cameras are reportedly removed from the court rooms so no one can see the laws that are broken by the person that's supposed to be the judge only to find out it's really not a judge but someone acting as a judge. Be very careful and learn all you can about your rights if you or someone you know has been the victim of guardianship abuse

Dad refuses home care and insist he can live alone 94 hard of hearing with dementia. Likes to argue

Where do I begin to start process of becoming the legal guardian for my aging Mother?

My aunts neighbor became her guardian. She cannot walk well, has dementia. Went to visit and she was soaked in urine from nite before. This was at 1 in the afternoon. My aunt has(had) a substantial amount of funds. The caretakers don't have credentials and only come in at out for short periods of time. Her home is in need of repair. The care taker said they don't call an ambulance when she falls or is sick because the state starts asking questions. The guardian doesn't want to deal with all that. I'm concerned. She was walking and visited my home only 3 years ago and now she can't leave her home. Hair gets matted. Etc. who do I contact?

When one sibling is caring for the incapacitated parent in their home is there any obligation of other siblings to contribute in some way ..

My dad, at 87, has recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 rectal cancer and my mother has dementia. They are each other's power of attorney. Can my brother go to court and gain guardianship if they have existing POA's? Thank you

From what I read somewhere, I think it's probate. I studied a topic on abusive probate guardianship where are mostly the very rich are targeted

my sister takes care of our mom, that's just how it happened. My mom was abusive to me and my brothers. Till this day I am affected by how cruel and mean she was, and she still has that in her. I love my mom but she also abused me deep to the core. She says she's good with God, but yet she has to family to come see her, only Me. And, she still complains, is bossy, mean, controlling, and has been yelling wolf for 50 years for attention. She will break me if I end up taking care of her. My heart still hurts from all her insults and put downs I received from her. oh! and she threw me under the bus more times than I can remember. She has never apologized to me or my brothers, 2 have passed away. Is she good with God?

Awarded guardianship in NY of my Alzheimer's mom. Can I move her to another state?

My mother in law has Alzheimer's, my husband and my sister in law split the duties of caring for her along with an aide the we pay to stay with her during the day while they are at work. We have been doing this for a year since my father in law passed away suddenly. Stress levels are very high as we have families at home that need our attention also and fights between siblings have happened. My sister in law is POA and health care proxy. She is mad over a recent fight and has told us she is no longer avaialable for in home care for her mother. She said she will continue with taking care of the bills and stay in contact with a program through Medicaid that she has been trying to get my mother in law into that will provide around the clock care for her (waiver program). My husband is now left with caring for his mother other than when the aide is there. My question is, if my sister in law is POA and health care proxy isn't it her job to find people that will come in to take care of my mother law if she is refusing to do so? What action can we take If any?

Yes, Guardianship trumps POA. To person with Sister-in-law wanting guardianship and addition to home. Don't let her become guardian. Next, make sure the addition is offset by any inheritance they may get because it adds value to their home. So, you should be involved in planning the addition with bathroom and additional room for aides. It sounds expensive and most likely will be. So, it should be reversed, question her about everything. She should have records for every penny of their money and where it goes. Tell her it is not necessary to get the court involved. Keep it in the family. Why give reports to the courts, when they can be kept within the family? Tell her it is better if you each have one big responsibility so you can share in their care. Your father-in-law chose your husband, he should keep his position. Maybe you should keep the lake house in exchange for the addition.

My comment is below. It is about SS - Social Security, Guardianship, NH - Nursing Home (s), ratings, care and cost.
In home care - loss of money and other items.

You do not need guardianship to be the payee for SS, or for putting your loved one in a nursing home or assisted living, or for handling their bills, property or healthcare. I have POA for my parent and am able to take care of everything without guardianship. The only reason why I even thought about it was because the first nursing home kept threatening me with them acquiring guardianship of her. You cannot move the person if they don't want to move. My parent knew what she had and was afraid of the unknown. The nursing home had taken her SS. They put it toward the bill, and deducted what I had to pay, but I was blindsighted and furious. Finally, she had to go to the hospital and I explained how badly the NH treated me, the threats of guardianship, what I felt was inferior about the NH and the care, and she agreed to go somewhere else.
She had been admitted there after a hospitalization, with the intention of it being short term care. She was self-pay, so they turned it into long term care and they were never going to release her. Anyway, the Hospital found that one and a different hospital found the new one. What a world of difference! The new one has excellent care, is rated 5 out of 5. The first was 2 out of 5. The new one is $7500.00 for 31 days. The first one was $10,300.00/month. This facility is cheery, with birds and fish and seating areas to visit. The other one had 1 room to visit and as soon as you went in, all the other patients came in. So, no privacy. Rooms were bland. People were lined up to eat like a soup kitchen and rushed in when the doors opened. The new one has a beautiful dining room, a happy hour before with alcoholic drinks and visitors can join in on that or have dinner with your loved one.
When you call for a nurse, you get two. At the first one, you had to wait up to a half hour for a nurse. So, do your homework people.
My loved one received a homemade quilt and pillow on
Christmas morning and she was admitted there on the 23rd. She really loves it. She is incontinent, very heavy and very dense. Has altzheimers, can't hear or walk and was very
difficult for us to care for. First, we tried in home care and so many different people were coming in, we lost a lot of
money, collectibles, jewelry and other items, so we did not like that at all. This is lengthy, but I wanted to explain that guardianship is not necessary unless the nursing home is
attempting to get guardianship. If you already have it, you
would have nothing to worry about. Also, if possible, buy nursing home insurance and pay for the funeral before the
person dies. Hope this helps.

My brother wants guardianship of our dad I am his daughter and dad's poa.

on the issue of guardianship when it becomes necessary, can I manage the social security check my mom receives per month? ...even though she becomes incapacitated?

Court costs and fees were in excess of 500.00. Cost of medical exam by a court appointed physician was 250.00. Quarterly reports to the court are 35.00. I feel as if I was gouged.

Can you get Guardianship if POA is abusing his power of POA by isolating members of the family?

Does court appointed gaurdianship carry over to another state

I have POA for health, finance, and property. My father has an advanced directive which is very clear. At this point, my father needs more care but Hopsice will not take him because the rules that govern the hospice in our county says the patient must be terminal or have organ failure. My father has copd, advanced osteoporsis in the spine, incontience, and losing weight rapidly. I can get my father help from another hospice agency outside of our county but my father would have to be moved to a different facility. The current nursing home administration says my father can still make semi clear decisions so I cannot move him if he does not want to go. Also the other hospice agency is not allowed to work where my father is currently residing.

Where can I get the form?

No worries about a legal guardian taking all the estate. There isn't any. My ruthless father has made sure he gets what he wants to the very end my care, my obligation, crap childhood , foul mother , narcissists.
Spent all the money but want our help. Sucks

I need advise as to if guardianship is the right step for my mother. She has been in a nursing facility for about 3 years now due too multiple strokes. She is an a incompaciated state. She had no writing will that the family knows of and no power of attorney before having the stroke that caused her state right now. I was 21 years old and the eldest when that had happened and clueless on how to go about everything. Her family insisted on me to take "charge" and basically said that I was the decision maker. I had no insight on how the nursing home system was or Medicaid process. I was basically overwhelmed with no money or insight. She had been under the care of this particular facility that was not taking care of her properly and she was hospitalized after. I had her transfered to a better facility where its now a piece of mind that she is getting better care for her condition. Recently my grandmother has passed away and really didn't have a plan also as it turns out. Now the family is turning to ME to consider getting guardianship because my mother had purchased a plot for my grandmother but was left in my mother's name. My question is,is it even worth the money for the guardianship just for a plot? And do I also need that as well to take legal action for my mother from the one facility that had left her hospitalized?

My mother has Dementia/Alzheimer's. I have Power of Attorney and I am Executor of my mothers estate, what else do I need to make sure that I have what is needed, to be able to care and place her in a memory care facility.
