[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 585029, member: 1169"] I think you need to speak with an attorney in your state. It seems like most posters have posted about how guardianship works in their state. We are taking guardianship of Eeyore. In my state, I will not be responsible or liable for his actions. I cannot force him to do (or not do) anything. I will control his finances, make most medical decisions, and make all educational decisions. I cannot admit him to a Residential Treatment Center (RTC)/TLP or sterilize him without a court order. He does not have to live with me but I must ensure that he has a place to live and food to eat. He will not be allowed to sign contracts. He will need my consent to get married. We did not take guardianship of Kanga because she has no money except SSI and that is controlled by her rep payee. She would continue to ignore us and even with guardianship, there is nothing we could do to control her behavior. [/QUOTE]
