They need to also correct abuse from family members! The Power of Attorney is a license to spend all the Elderly's money in bank accounts on themselves buying things, building houses, taking trips, even making their own mother pay rent, and they don't spend her money on the Mother. Disgusting predators.
I agree Anonymous 2. The statement that guardians provide comfort is sometimes true, but it's said as if all guardians provide comfort. If that were true, this bill wouldn't even be in the works.
I am highly offended Anon - let's not apply they're all bad to ALL without knowledge of other cases based on your case.
Fair is fair and you aren't being fair minded.
I am POWER OF ATTORNEY for my mother, 95, and my father 92.
I work for F R E E - got that? They have the very best of care.
If my parents were under a court appointed guardianship,any idea how much money would be going towards lawyers, GAL's, a parade of people billing billing billing.
They've got all summer to work on this Bill. Hope they do something to end the guardianship grabs.
