It is unclear what legal reason, you would want your wife to become your guardian, if you are able to make decisions for yourself. Most medical providers will allow a spouse to make medical decisions, if the patient cannot. Perhaps you meant that you want to become a Coguardian of the grandkids. But, there also seems to be no legal necessity of doing this either. I am not a doctor, but it isn't apparent what medical reason there would be to add or change guardians, if your wife is still willing and able to serve. Perhaps you should seek assistance from the attorney that told you have a legal reason to have the guardianship modified.

Good luck
