    Default Visitation Rights with Elder Mom Under Sister's Guardianship

    My question involves guardianship in the State of: Connecticut and California. My sister lives in Connecticut with and took my mother (against her will)and applied for guardianship here in California. My sister has now put my mother's home up for sale(against her will). She somehow has gotten mom diagnosed with "chronic dementia" of which I havent seen any of the doctors reports. Sis wont let me speak to mom and I plan on going to Connecticut. Do I have visitation rights? I dont think she will let me have contact.

    To the extent that your mother is sufficiently competent to express a desire to see you, absent a court order to the contrary, the guardian should be accommodating her wishes. If sis won't let you see mom you may have to petition the court that ordered the guardianship to compel her to allow access (or prove why access would be harmful to your mother).
