Can I win guardianshipand conservatorship of my father?

An application for guardianship of the person and estate, filed by an Approved Guardianship Attorney, must be accompanied by a Physician's Certificate of Medical Examination which shows that the person is no longer mentally capable to provide for his own food, shelter and medical care or manage his own finances. If your father has granted someone a Durable [Financial] Power of Attorney, no guardianship of the estate should be necessary unless that person is robbing him. If the girlfriend is not your father's agent under a Durable Power of Attorney and bank records do not show that she is authorized to sign checks as a convenience or joint signer, alert the bank and see an attorney about possible elder exploitation, forgery and fraud.  You can find a local elder law attorney using the Find a Lawyer function on the website of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela.org)   Please note that many people under a guardianship still retain legal capacity to make a Will.
