My mother is on SSI she mentally ill.
She can no longer be trusted to eat, she starves herself. She is in a nursing home right now but will be released in a week. What can I do to have guardianship of her or custodianship?
To establish a guardianship you will need to apply to the probate court in the county where she lives. As part of that application you will need a doctor's statement so you may want to do that while she is in a nursing home.
I would consult with an elder law attorney as soon as possible.
