Re: Gaurdianship
You are going to need an attorney who handles guardianships to help you with this. You will have to provide him or her with a lot more details before he or she can give you a realistic idea of the total cost. (In Harris County, just the filing fees run almost $250)
As to what all is involved, it depends. Are you talking about just a Guardian of the Person or will you also need a Guardian of the Estate. Hopefully you can find a good attorney in your area who can talk you through the entire process. Good luck!
