[QUOTE="Lil, post: 642758, member: 17309"] Well....as one of those in the "lawyer racket" (granted, a civil servant for the last two decades but private attorney before that), I can safely say that getting a guardianship is simply not [I]that [/I]expensive (yes, there are fees involved) and a parent being a guardian for an adult child is very different than having a professional guardian appointed. Yes, there will be filings annually (most likely), but most intelligent people can take care of those with little effort and a few minutes talking with the clerks of the probate court. Many attorney's have free consultations. Every state's laws are somewhat different regarding what is required of guardians and conservators and what fees are required and whether the guardian or ward pays those fees. A Power of Attorney will not let you do anything against your daughter's will, such as put her in treatment, put her in school, etc. Talk to a lawyer, then make up your mind. [/QUOTE]
