If your parents created a valid legal power of attorney and/or trust then you will not need to file for guardianship should they no longer be able to care for themselves and their finances. However, if no legal documents are prepared prior to the person becoming incapacitated, you may need to go to court to file for guardianship. This is expensive, time-consuming and public. To avoid this, it is wise to plan in advance.

Managing a Loved One's Money
Millions of Americans are managing money or property for a family member or friend who is unable to pay bills or make financial decisions. This can be overwhelming, but it's also a great opportunity to help someone they care about, and protect them from scams and exploitation.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) Office of Financial Protection for Older Americans has released four easy-to-understand booklets to help financial caregivers. The Managing Someone Else's Money guides are for agents under powers of attorney, court-appointed guardians, trustees and government-benefit fiduciaries (Social Security representative payees and Veterans Affairs fiduciaries).
The guides help those serving as fiduciaries in three ways, they walk them through their duties, tell them how to watch out for scams and financial exploitation and what to do if their loved one is a victim, and tell them where to go for help.
The guides can be downloaded from the CFPB website at:

Caregivers have you looked into financial help?
If you're a caregiver, it may be beneficial to look into financial help for your loved one. You may want to see if any public benefits such as Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability programs, Veterans benefits, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly known as food stamps), Medicare and/or Medicaid benefits are available.
It is also a good idea to examine any private disability insurance, life insurance, long-term care insurance and/or employee health insurance policies that are in effect to see if any of them cover home health visits, skilled nursing, physical therapy and/or any short-term assistance.
