The lady whom I was taking care of is now in a nursing home. Her son and I had to go to court for public guardianship. Judge awarded it. I've been her caregiver since 2007-2021. Judge noted that I be inclusive. What does that mean?
One thing I want to clarify, in your profile you state you need unemployment and the stimulus check but, you are paid cash by your client.
Here's the rub, you don't qualify for these benefits because nobody paid into them on your behalf.
This is what happens when you work and get paid under the table.
Time to go get a legitimate job that withholds taxes and pays for the employee insurances, like unemployment insurance and workman's compensation insurance.
You can always ask the court clerk what that "inclusive" phrase means. I have found them to be helpful and knowledgeable when I didn't want to pay an attorney for a simple question.
I agree, you may need a lawyer to explain everything to you.
I don't get the impression you received guardianship the son did. To me it means that the son has to keep you in the loop concerning Moms care but he makes the final decisions. He can't keep you from seeing her. Fourteen years is a long time to care for someone and then be pushed aside. This Judge did a good thing.
If you can't afford an attorney, there is legal aid. Office of Aging may have a phone# for them.
There's no way to give advice w/o the full sentence or paragraph which incudes this comment. And more than likely, it's related to other paragraphs, so the entire guardianship document should be read, by an attorney with a practice which incudes guardianship.
If you and her son initiated the guardianship proceeding, I'm assuming you hired an attorney. You can ask him or her; that's the quickest method.
You will need your attorney to interpret judicial-speak for you. I am "assuming" that it means family is to be in the loop with whatever Fiduciary is assigned to manage care. The Fiduciary acts for the court and will decide all financial, monetary, placement issues. Usually when it is stipulated that this order is "inclusive " where family it is concerned it suggests that the Fiduciary should discuss with family placement (some place a senior too far to be visited otherwise), and etc. However, the Fiduciary for the court will be the FINAL arbiter in decisions. But means that the court is encouraging the family and fiduciary to speak together, share information, and etc. So, should the fiduciary refuse to speak with you, then it would be something you could address through the court. Wishing good luck to all. I admire the work of Fiduciaries, and hope your former "charge" has a fine one.
I see now that your SON was granted guardianship. Not a Fiduciary. What it means that you be "inclusive " I have ZERO idea. You will need to ask an attorney. Sorry I misunderstood and thought that the State had guardianship and that you should be included.
