When can a nursing home file for guardianship if I am POA?

How how can a nursing home file for guardianship if I am POA? Nominated Guardian in case they commenced the guardianship?

As others have said, you have posted this same question under numerous posts. How are you related to this person you are concerned about? That is an unfilled blank here.

A Guardianship will trump a POA. It will and it does. If you are related to this person, surely, there is an attorney's name on certificate if mailing. It will be the last page.

And you should direct your inquiry there. Best to you under difficult circumstances.

Guardianship is far more expensive than POA. And not manipulated like a POA. They are harder to get and require background checks. If not direct relative, or ward of state, a bond is necessary.

Stick with the same query though.
Good luck,

Furthermore, if you have filed bankruptcy, or are a convicted felon, you won't get gship. And you shouldn't.

You need to stay with one post. Posting multiple times confuses everything.

I see your response on one of the postings. Really, we can't help you here. Are you related to this person? Guardianship is very expensive. If there is a court hearing, you need to be there and maybe have a lawyer. Check with Office of Aging for the phone# of legal aid. It will be up to a judge how it goes for this man.

Bitgit,

Sorry, but this is now the 3rd time you have asked pretty much the same question. If you click on your profile icon, you can see all the questions and answers you have asked under the heading "following".

You mentioned in one question that APS is involved. That is who initiated guardianship by a NH. APS gets called when a hospital or facility feel there has been some abuse. You should have been contacted thst an investigation was going on. Your POA is no longer in effect. Its overrided by the guardianship. You need to call APS and find out what is going on.
