Guardianship
Is my niece legally required to return the auto she was gitfted by guardian of late relative?
This concerns an elderly couple living in Arkansas. The husband died and wife was declared incompetent. Their guardian's signed over the family auto to a niece before the incompetent wife passed away. The wife passed away soon after. A year passed and the sister of the now deceased wife, who lives in nursing home, filed for the car's return. No hearing has been set yet. The will did not mention the car. Does the car need to be returned to Arkansas before the hearing, or does it matter? Could there be any charges for the car upon its' return?
How Does Someone Terminate Legal Guardianship?
My husband and I have been legal guardians to two of our grandchildren for the past five years. One of the children has aggressively threatened my husband and myself with a knife and verbally stating that he will kill us. He was placed in juvenile detention and later a mental facility. Upon his release he went to live with a great aunt and uncle who recently had him removed from their home because they couldn't trust him. His probation officer put him back here stating that as legal guardians we have no choice but to let him live here. We can not do this any more, we can not live in constant fear anymore. What do we need to do to have legal guardianship terminated? (We live in Kansas)
Are there any agencies that could assist me in the guardianship case of my adult daughter?
I have been Conservator for my daughter since she was 9 years old, she is 27 now. approximately 10 years ago the examiner told me she was retiring and that there was no more accounting due. 10 years later I was contacted by a Judge stating that the accounting is still due. I motioned the court to give my daughter complete and final control of her assets and property. I received approximately 3 postponements to get the 10 years of accounting done and I was given a 02/17/2009 date to appear in court. Today I received a letter stating that an attorney has been appointed for my daughter looking into terminating her guardianship and that an evaluator has been appointed to determine whether the termination of the guardianship is appropriate. What rights do we have and what actions should we take at this time. Also, where can we find a pro bono attorney that handles guardianship cases in New York City?
Can they make my daughter sell her house to pay the lawyer and the evaluator? If not how are they paid? Are there Advocacy Groups that are reputable in NYC?
