You could fille a petition for the guardianship in your local J&DR;Court. (The clerk will have the necessary papers for you to fill out at the court.)
It may be, however, that due to the dementia and apparent inability of your grandmother to handle any of her financial affairs that she should
have a conservator acting in her behalf.

Disregard the advice regarding the J&DR;Court; the petition for guardianship must be filed in the circuit court.
