i want my friend to get conservartorship over my grandmother ,i have full power of attorney.

hi, caring for a elderly mom. my question is for social security department and medical health care guardianship what legal documents I need in state of FL to make it official.

if you dont feel comfortable might be better investing in buyin to place that ioffer all stages independant senior assisted to skilled care they would remain on grounds but sjkilled care usual is in upstairs favcility where elevator assures security abnd private,to semi private. beautiful water front views out of window lots activity outside for those to look out window .I worked at nice one.. if paid for 2 ,or 3 yrs with some is other option willtake medicare medivcaid for pmt.
This is other option. and sometimes its better to be some place with organized outingds and activitoies rather than. waiting on someone to take you someplace. when people become isolated they decline faster than those with mental stimulation. enven with just talking socializing.
If decide for ad on. a contract is a good idea that. would count for use of funds and clarify what is expected. I suggest divide Poa and healthcare,provxy up and draw up unfrevocable end of life wishes.if they are at this stage they have tjhe ability to be explicit. who knows the desire NOT to be cloned may be an end of lifre wish in their lifetime the way things are going.

go to local legal aid.

Yes it will. A guardianship or Conservatorship trumps a POA.

I know this is not directly about how to get guardianship;but I need some help and advise. My mother resides in Spain and up November of last year was fit and well (she is 71). In November a brain tumour was discovered, she has had treatment for this;we don't how well this has worked as her husband has not told us exactly what the doctors have said. She went on holiday with her sisters in April and had a really good time. Unfortunately 4 weeks ago she became worse, not being able to walk or do anything for herself. Her husband didn't call the doctor or take her to the hospital when this happened. "As she had an hospital appointment last week". When she attended this appointment we don't know what he told them regarding her present condition as we are here in England. We do however know that they believe it to be fluid on the brain. We are worried that the care he is giving her is not adequate and wondered if there is anything we can do legally. PLEASE HELP WE ARE SO WORRIED

The person is not my parent, he is my brother, 89 yrs, ww11 veteran, his children don't want gaurdianship, over him, He needs alot of care, what can I do as his sister.

needing help!! my grandpa is veey unstable and is having mental break down after mental break down. i need figure out if we should go for POA or gaudianship. he is unsafe to live by himself and is making threats.

I already have Power of Attorney, but my father and brothers are in jail.After mama died the boys took over and robbed him blind, not to mention got him in some trouble b/c he can't tell them no. Lately his memory has gotten bad. To the point where he cusses out my children, husband and myself. Not b/c we have done anything wrong but b/c he is mean. And the next day he swears he never said anything. He just can't remember.... So with me having Power of Attorney what else do i need to take over all decisions for my dad. Thank You

Harry is a Veteran, We have power of Attorney. He was assigned a fiduciary over his benifits and this person now wants to take over being his guardian. We have been in Harrys life for 30 years, Taking care and making sure he gets what he needs,
in care and anything he needs. The government deemed him incompetent so they
control his benefits and now they want to take over his savings,and his life. The man that handles his money is an attorney..We have Power of attorney and Harry made his Will and we are his benificary. Harry can speak for himself and knows what he wants but the fiduciary want complete control. We want to stop this action and want to know the next step.

My dad said that he made his lawyer his Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare. My dad has two living relatives (my brother and myself). Can his lawyer actually be his Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare?

Do I have to have an attorney to file for Guardianship in SC

I was my mother's legal guardian for 9 years, until the day she died. When I was first appointed guardian, she had had a major stroke, and was in a vegetative state. This was pre-obamacare laws, and after 30 days in a veg state, United Healthcare dropped her. I had to apply to be her guardian in order to apply for Medicaid, the only way the hospital would transfer her to a rehab facility. Long story short, she rapidly got better and came home in a few months. Life was great... Started looking for a doctor to declare her competent. Guess what... Nobody wants to take the risk of declaring someone deemed incompetent competent. We were told we'd have to private pay, and it would cost a minimum of $1,000 to have Mom declared competent. Even willing to pay that much, we couldn't get anyone to call us back. Enter this new Court Examiner who starts demanding accounting of each and every purchase from a pack of gum to a few gallons of gas. As his first action as examiner, he not only rejected my most recent Annual Report, he retro-actively rejected a report from the previous year already approved by his predecessor. Mom and I had to pay over $1,000 to get a lawyer to create an annual report this guy would accept. Mom's gone now, and this guy is still threatening court action for a final report. Currently attempting to bypass him with a petition to dismiss without a final report. Either way, I'm pissed. In Mom's name, I'm thinking about starting a political movement to stop treating people who become guardians of their parents the same as court appointed guardians with no familial relationship to the incapacitated person. Anyone agree?

my father pasted away one year and a half ago. I'm the only one that has cared for her health since. I am the oldest of thirteen children, all grown. My mother has early stages of dementia some day it shows more then others. I was the only on other then a brother that lives with her, but he takes advantage of her. The family tares he apart with confusion, not looking after her best interest for her well being. I fight with all this family and they do not know what she is going through in her health. Mother is in denial having Lupus and will not go to the appointment the Lung Dr. set her up with.
There was a misunderstanding between my mother and I so she didn't want me taking her to her appointments. No one took her to this appointment. Out of four other daughters not one made the effort. She said she didn't want to go.
I need help
Thank You

In order for someone to become a person's guardian, the must be medically diagnosed as being incompetent. Usually a court will investigate the person applying concerning how well they have been handling their own financial responsibilities and if they have a criminal record.

Momlover123,

With your sister having guardianship over ya'lls mother for 30ty years, I highly doubt the court is going to change its mind. From what I've read on a previous thread, you have been absent for years while your sister has kept mom from being homeless and has kept her alive.

The one signature with an X that I saw take place had to have the signed witness of two unrelated people to witness to it being that person's x. Otherwise anyone could x some document.

Okay that's good but what if the person who's trying to get the guardianship is the right or best person for this position when the court don't check the person out first

Hi. You can always get POA even if your loved one signs with an X from what I've been told, so you might want to consult with a lawyer because the law probably varies from state to state. Call "Department on Aging," as every state has one, to find out what home care services your loved one is eligible for. Best wishes to you and your God given loved one.

My grandmother is currently in hospital and they say that she isn't fit to return home so the council has stepped in and is trying to get guardianship off her then put her in a care home . They say that because my mother my grans daughter never went for POA there is nothing she can do . Just wondering if this is the case and if there is anything I can do I would provide 24 hour care for my gran and let her live with me . Rather than her being put in care for the rest off her life .

i got a question.how someone get out of it if they are not really incompentent as the other person claimed?what steps would i have to take to prove it.

Can you get POA after someone becomes totally disabled? my dad is on a vent and cant speak or respond

My sister has had guardianship of my Mom for about 30 years and I don't always approve of her decision making. I want joint guardianship. I think I love my mother so much and would not allow some of my sister's decisions.

My dad has dementia and I just found out his young girlfriend married him about a week ago. Can the court reverse this marriage being that I just filed for guardianship over my dad today?

I now have full time care of my mother who has advanced dementia. Because she refused to even think about the need for a POA when she was healthy, I have no ability to place her in a nursing facility to get the 24/7 care she now needs. Or according to her dr.ask for medicines that might help with her anxiety issues. Help!

Then file for guardianship for your elderly dad as well and may you win!

i have a crazy sister trying to take guardianship of my elderly dad ..She is the worst person to do it . My dad would never want this she has taken his things and sold them , he even has went to court and put a restraining order on her .

My mother passed away this past August. I took care of her and her affairs for 2-1/2 years. POA is useless as some other people have commented. My suggestion for all of us who are the next generation coming up to need care is to give all you have away. Health care power of attorney is also useless even if the patient has been diagnosed with dementia. I hate everything about health care and the law. Save your money. None of it helps in any way.

having power of attorney does not help you in any way.we have had it for years and the attorney just told us there was nothing we could do about someone taking mom to borrow money without letting us know and she gave the money she borrowed to them..now they have the money and laughing about it because they don't have to pay it.....this is stupid,,,why have power of attorney,,,what good does it do you??????

i just need a form for adult custodian
