Re: guardianship for 19 yr old son
Hello. To be named your son's guardian
under these circumstances, it would be
necessary to open a disabled person's
estate. The Court would appoint an
interim guardian ad litem to visit and
interview your son once the case is filed. Assuming that the guardian ad litem's report specifies that your son is disabled, the Court would then appoint you or a named person his guardian. After that, all of your son's affairs would have to be monitored by the court so that his interest would be protected. I will
be happy to discuss this further and in more detail.
