Can someone please advise how you get a conservatorship or guardianship for a parent?

I think you may need to find a second attorney, preferably one who specializes in elder law. Seeing the same estate attorney who drew up the first agreement may lead to a dead end.
Good luck. I don't think you can do this without legal help, but there are a lot of attoney's around. You may want to ask for references.

How do i get an emergency court order for guardianship of my mother,All family members agree she is in desperate need of help

Contact the local county court system in your area online . There should be several links there as well as phone numbers where someone may be able to guide you for what you need to do right now! You will have to all go to court however so be sure you are going to win before you put your mom through any of this. Good Luck.

Do I need an attorney to file for guardianship of an elderly parent with severe dementia?

I do believe so because the person in question has to be tested and all must go to court to declare guardianship.

Do I need a Lawyer to file for conservatorship?

Does a guardian get reimbursed for any of it's duties? Time, mileage, etc? I am in the stages of becoming a guardian for my Uncle and I have been spending most of the time I am not at work (and some at work) trying to get him a place to live and taking care of many of things. I have to go to his house today and gather all financial info and clean his house. He was placed in a secured dementia unit and I have to find him another place this week, possibly assisted living that cares for dementia patients.
Thank you

Is it the same process if you have a mentally ill parent? My mom refuses to do anything for herself, sleeps all day. She refuses to do anything that she is asked. Severe depression/behavioral issues. HELP.

Yes, KKKate, guardians can be reimbursed. Please talk to the lawyer who is working on the guardianship for you about this matter.

My mother is 82 and lives in Nevada. I'm her only child and live in California.She's in poor health and unable to reason. I suspect she has mental issues but i'm unable to get her checked out voluntarily. I'm very worried.What should be my first steps.Thank you.

what is the first step to getting guardianship over mom I am her poa and I don't have moeny for a lawyer

If you don't have the money for a lawyer, then it is not going to be possible get guardianship because that is the first step to filing for guardianship. Why do you need guardianship when you are her POA?

Go to Superior Court, fill out your own papers, pay a fee, and your case will be heard by a probate judge. I did it and without an attorney. Hurry, as the courts are backlogged.

I have Medical POA of my relative and we received bad news. The Doctor told me I needed guardianship of her. Who would I contact.

the hospital has already declared my mom incompetent, even though she isn't really. Having said that, we have to pay her bills. Being that this will be uncontested, what form do I print out and take to the courthouse here in jacksonville Florida to get guardian ship

My mother has dimentia and cannot go into assisted living, she, i was told by doctors, has to go into memory care.
She owns her home and has more than $2500 in the bank, but when that rAt this point, just what can i do if she won't go willingly?????????????? We have Adult
power of attorney, but n guardianship.
i am on social security, at 66 yrs. ol, soooooo I need help.
Adult Protective Services has been called 3 xs, but found I was not taking funds or anything else. With that being said....
Gezzzz do i just let A{S take everything or what can i do????? I have no one or any other route to take, but get her into a home and if possible, sell her home and give the money to the stae of Texas to pay for whatever medicaid is out re $.

Jo, I don't know what you mean by "Adult power of attorney."

If that's just a typo, and you do have documented Power of Attorney for your mother, and your mother's doctors have certified that she has dementia and needs to be placed in Memory Care, then this is what you do.

Use APS as a source of advice and information.
Find out what Memory Care facilities are available in your mother's area, and able to take her.
Using your Power of Attorney, make the arrangements for your mother to be admitted.
Again, work with/consult social workers if you need practical help and assistance with the admission because your mother is resistant to it.
Sell your mother's house, transferring the funds to a dedicated account solely for your mother's benefit.
Without knowing what you're likely to get for the house I can't guess how much money your mother will end up with; but it doesn't sound as if it's going to be a fortune and Memory Care is very expensive. So you will also need to apply for Medicaid and any other state benefits she might be entitled to. APS should be able to advise you, or if not them they'll know who can.

If APS has been called on to investigate *you* three times - who by, by the way? - I can imagine they're not you're favourite people even if they have completely cleared you of any wrongdoing. No-one could enjoy that process. But now it's time for them to help you, so don't hesitate to ask.

Your favourite people, I mean. How embarrassing. Sorry, bit stressed here.
