Mom is unable to
handle her affairs and either can’t or won’t accept
assistance from other family members. Or maybe one child lives close
by and is taking advantage of mom and other family members, who live
a distance away, are frustrated in their attempts to protect mom. Is
guardianship a solution?
In Show 16 of his
monthly elder law podcast, Yale Hauptman, a practicing elder law
attorney discusses when a guardianship is possible and when it isn’t.
Does Mom need to be declared incompetent? How does that happen and
what is the standard? Yale also discuss what options are available
when a guardianship isn’t possible, such as a conservatorship.
If your family is
grappling with these issues or you know someone else who is, then
you’ll want to tune in to learn more.
