Guardianship: what you need to know

When you don't get a Power of Attorney in time, you often have to rely on Guardianship to handle the finances and housing and more of your aging parent.
But it's not as easy as it sounds.
Guardianship can be a long and contested process that takes up time, resources and money.
Colin Norman and Laurel Smith are attorneys with Kean Miller in the Houston area and they talk with Kim and Mike Barnes of Parenting Aging Parents about why someone would need guardianship, the pros and the cons, what to expect, how long it could take, and why you might not need it.
