If your brother gets guardianship, the POA will be extinguished. Yes, as part of the process your brother will have to schedule a hearing and notify your mother of the hearing date, time, and location. You can call your county courts and check if there has been a hearing scheduled yet. Your mother may present her own choice for guardian, or resist guardianship entirely. Whether I can help you or not depends upon where you are in Colorado. I'm in Arapahoe county in the Metro area.... Read Answer

Unfortunately, since your wife has Alzheimer's and is in a memory care facility and unable to sign her name, she is probaly no longer competent to grant you her power of attorney.  You may need to go into court to be appointed her guardian.

Can we get out of being guardian of our granddaughter

Answered 6 years and 4 months ago by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Guardianship And Conservatorship
Terry Lynn Garrett
While both parents (not just one) can sign a Temporary Power of Attorney allowing someone to take the child to the doctor, register her for school, etc., just because they grant authority does not mean that someone else has to accept it.  You never needed to accept it.  Please think carefully about how you can end taking care of your granddaughter in a way which will hurt her the least....

Do I have to let the parent take the child over night for a visit?

Answered 6 years and 11 months ago by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Guardianship And Conservatorship

While the parents can revoke a temporary power of attorney over their child (which you seem to think is guardianship -- something which can only be awarded by a court), you would be contributing to the endangerment of a minor if you let the child travel in a car without a car seat.

iWhat is entailed with transferring Guardianship and conservatorship from one state into Colorado, and what can I expect for fees?

Answered 9 years and 3 months ago by Derry Dale Sadler (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Guardianship And Conservatorship
I have 40 years of experience. I have managed the transfer of duties from one state to another. This requires approval from the sending judge to the Colorado judge. The cost depends on the size of the estate to be managed. I charge $175/hour. We can discuss the initial retainer if you desire to cal. Call 303-409-702. This is not legal advise, as I do not have sufficient information and you have not retained this office by this response.... Read Answer
