guardianship

[Guest guest]

Dear Parents:

I wonder if any of you would be willing to share your thoughts on why or why you

did not become your child's guardian? I'm getting some other things in line for

and I'm still torn on this.

Thanks,

We listened to a lot of experts in the field, lawyers, advocates. The

decision for us was not at all clear cut. At this point we have not taken

guardianship for our 23 year old son. We know there are risks, but we are

not ready yet to make that move.There are other less invasive moves that

are more favorable to us, power of attorney over various matters.

Guardianship is so final, it seems more difficult to remove it than add to

it. Adam has a very public life, work etc. he also is very healthy. and

I assume someday that might be a decision we will end of doing.

Hi ,

I chose to get guardianship for my 19 yo son with autism. What I was told by an

attorney, was with power of attorney my son could verbally revoke the power of

attorney as long as another witness was present (person 18 or over). He lacks

social skills and would be an easy target. To remove guardianship, my

understanding is that you just have to go to court again and agree to remove it.

Good Luck,

guardianship

Hi :

For our son Rick, we have guardianship.  We did not have any problem making

this decision for him.  We knew it was in the best interest of Rick.  Our

daughter andra may be another issue.  Currently she is 16, soon to be 17,

and we are not sure if we will have guardianship or power of attorney. andra

has Autism.   She is quite a bit more independent, and we believe, will be able

to hold a job etc.

Well, I learned something today! Every county handles the annual reporting

differently? Where’s the ‘streamlining government’ in that?

Thanks ,

Not all Counties send you the form. Many have it online, or the attorney who

handled the Guardianship normally supplies the form. Also, not all Counties

require the annual report. Further, some counties require it not every year, but

rather every two, or every three years.

Chantelle, every year, the court will send you a report to fill out. If you get

the report in before the deadline, you won't have to appear in court.

They usually send it 2-3 months before the anniversary date of when you were

granted guardianship.

We live in Cook County and the only requirement of which I am aware, is that we

file an update with the court...there is a specific form that we fill out and

send in every year.

I will see if it is online later today.

They must do things different up north, because they don't do that in Madison

County. For the first two years, the lawyer we used sent a reminder, but nothing

since then. Nothing from the court. I did file a letter last year, because I

had gotten a copy of a paper from a friend of mine.
