What is the benefit of becoming your spouse's legal guardian?
|
My step father is very sick and unable to care for himself, he can't walk at all and has lost his ability to speak. The family has been suggesting my mother move him to a facility that can care for him since she leaves him alone for several hours per day, but Mom refuses to do this since she depends on his social security income for living expenses. She currently works part time but refuses to consider a full time job even though she's only 58 and in good health.
I know this makes me sound like a horrible daughter but she has been lying to me for months to get money. She calls me, crying, saying she can't afford groceries so I send her a couple hundred dollars. Inevitably I'll hear a few days later about her recent purchases, clothes, home decor, weekend trips with "the girls" etc.
Now she is asking for a couple thousand dollars to cover legal fees so she can become the legal guardian of her husband. I suspect she has discovered a way that becoming his guardian will get her more money. Before I give her anything I want to know what she's up to.
Any help would be much appreciated.

It shouldn't cost anything. All he has to do is sign a power of attorney, which is a legal form that can be completed. If he is aware enough to sign such a form, then the power of attorney would be all that she would need to conduct his affairs. |

If what you are saying is true (she lies to you to get you to pay for things or give her money), this sounds like she is trying to scam you out of some money. Why would she need to be a "legal guardian" of her husband? As a spouse, she already can make medical decisions on his behalf if he is not able to. And I don't know of any other reason she would need to be granted guardianship. |
