My mother was appointed a guardian last year. My mother had a bank account with a pretty good sum of money. This account had beneficiaries. When guardian opened a new account she did not list any beneficiaries. In addition, she plans on selling the house which had an enhanced life estate deed. This deed essentially had both adult children as beneficiaries to the house. Now I have also learned that the proceeds of the house will go into an account without beneficiaries. Is this a common practice?
And it is the guardians job to protect their charge and ensure that they are receiving the best care possible.
Is it a paid guardian or a family member?
You and your sister don't get along, right?
I am sorry that you and your wife (especially your wife...you wrote that she spent 15 hours/day, not including staying overnight (!))) took care of your mother apparently without any compensation. How long did this go on before she was moved to a facility?
