My sister-in-law suffered a stroke early in 2017....she was deemed mentally incompetent and a court-appointed guardian became the guardian of her health.....since then he has become the guardian of her property as well.....my sister-in-law has made significant progress over the last year and a half....despite that fact the guardian is unwilling to share any of her financial information, and will not make any bank statements available to her...….she has no other family members looking out for her other than myself...….I don't think she wants to reassert any control of her finances, she just wants to know how much she has (her husband, my brother, died in 2016)……..just wondered if there were any options for her......it's too bad because she really has made a lot of progress over the last year....thanks for your time....
A person under guardianship can apply to have some or all of her rights restored. Usually they just need to write a letter to the court. The court will then appoint someone to investigate.
Meanwhile, many states require a guardian of the estate (a/k/a conservator) to file an annual accounting. Check the court records.
