I'm finally getting the guardianship papers. It's been a 5 month journey that is coming to a end. Then while I was at work my favorite place the nursing home where my grandmother is called me, which was the billing dept she asked me did I get the guardianship. I told her I had gotten the email from the lawyers and that the payments are accumulating. Well no kidding what do I look like Nelson T Rockerfeller? I had told this story of how I had to pay out of my pocket but it was just one time in September. I told her I'm almost broke because of this, paying for other things outside. Her response, bring in a checkbook Tuesday. I will be there Tuesday but once I get the papers I'm gonna get to all 4 banks to get guardianship accounts. Once I take care of the nursing home I will pay the bills that are at her house shutting off the cable cutting off QVC, Phone.
Most guardianship applications, I guess anyway, arise when a person hasn't done this and then becomes incapable of managing on their own and there's a need to manage their money and their care and it isn't possible to do it in a less formal way.
The really fundamental difference between POAs and guardians is that a person gives POA to a person of their choice, whereas a court appoints a guardian and attaches conditions which the guardian has to meet.
