Legal Question in Elder Law in Delaware

Guardianship

I am considering trying to obtain guardianship of my grandmother. Her POA is my alcoholic and drug addicted sister and I feel she obviously does not have our grandmother's best interests in mind. My mother and her sister have not been involved in her care since she became disabled. Is this process complicated and where do I begin?

If you are trying to conserve the finances you must see an attorney.
