[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I did. I filed in court myself. Easy process. You do not need an attorney. [/quote] Did your parent consent to this? I find it disconcerting that it was an easy process to get guardianship over another adult with no attorneys (or doctors?) involved.[/quote] No, she was to far gone with the dementia but I had been handling her money and other things and could prove it. We just found a random primary care and made an appointment and they signed off. Then, for the second doctor we used an urgent care that we have used in the past that knew us. Done. I filed myself. The court assigned them an attorney to represent and the attorney agreed with us. She handled most of the 5 minute court year. Yes, it is very disconcerting how easy and quick it was. You need two doctors to agree with the diagnosis/concern.[/quote]
