I'm watching a 2024 Movie, called The Bad Guardian, available now on Netflix, about a court-appointed guardian to an independent elder, with Melissa Joan Hart as the daughter, who fights the court system to gain control of her father.This is a good reminder to everyone to prepare POA and Medical Representative documents in advance! We often advocate in this forum for calling APS, and letting the court assign a guardian. This is a last resort, for families who are either unable or unwilling to take control of their vulnerable elders. This should not be the first step. Families should try and make suitable arrangements for their vulnerable family member before giving up to a court appointed guardian.
