I am 20 years old. My mother has been declared mentally incompetent, and her social worker needs to know by monday if I would like to take over guardianship. I have no idea what is involved, and she couldn't really tell me much. First of all, my mom and I are both in Texas but we are several counties apart. This is what I need to know:
1. Is this something I would have to take off work and travel to where she is to handle, or could I do it from here? (she is in Cherokee county, and I am in the Dallas area)
2. What is involved in obtaining the guardianship? (What are the legal fees like?
3. What are my responsibilities once I have obtained it?
Even if anybody knows of a website that could help me, I would greatly apprreciate it. Thank You!
