So you have been appointed guardian, now what?

If you  have been appointed guardian of your parent's money, you must realize that not all family members may agree with your decisions. Sometimes, sibling rivalry going back many years might still cause tension when parents become sick or incapacitated.

To help avoid friction, make sure you do a good job carrying out all of your duties. As a guardian, you will have to prepare documentation for the court about your parent's income, assets and how money was spent. Unless your parents told you not to, it may be a good idea to share information with your siblings and answer any questions they may have. This may help with any resentment that can build up over time. The court can inform you whether you are required to share information as unfortunately, some family members may not have your parent's best interest at heart. Sometimes a family counselor or a mediator may be able to help when you have disagreements over your parent's
money.

Is it too late?

Once a person becomes incapacitated let's say due to Alzheimer's disease, it is probably too late to have power of attorney documents prepared. In order to establish a power of attorney, the person must be able to understand what it means to give someone else the power to handle their affairs.That is why it is so important to plan ahead. If a person receives a diagnosis, they still may be able to make legal arrangements before the disease progresses. In this case, it is advisable to consult with a lawyer promptly.
