She had dementia and then her husband died suddenly- they had an assigned POA but that person did not feel she could serve in her role. The process is straightforward- medical documentation, and an interview with a court appointed guardian. Even though the aunt was quite lucid and social, she clearly was not able to care for herself, and without guardianship no one else was able to help her with bills or medical care. The hearing was brief, and until she died I filled semi-annual financial reports and guardianship to the court. Because I was also a financial conservator, I also had to secure bond, which her estate paid for.
The attorney for our family member got the bond waived but she had no money so it was probably easier.
