My father is incompetent from a stroke. How can I get guardian over him with no Power of Attorney filed?

AgingCareEditor Jul 2010
To get guardianship for your dad, you would have to go to court and a judge would have to declare him incompetent and unable to make "rational" decisions. The judge's ruling is based on opinions of doctors and other experts. .

To get more information, talk with an elder law attorney or contact your local Area on Aging, to see if they any information that might help.
