People who can’t take care of themselves need support and protection, and guardianship provides neither. When my father and I learned this, we asked to withdraw our guardianship petition, but were told we could not. It turned out that there was no money left, and the current guardian told me they were therefore going to do a reverse mortgage on the house. So if there is an objection to the guardianship, the opposing party uses the ward’s assets to fight them ad nauseam. We need more hearings that feature the voices of victims who are currently under guardianship and want out.
