Guardianship Revenge?
I talked about the connection between elderly drivers and probate litigation a month ago. The idea is that family strife can result when a parent falls in the grey area between incompetent and fully competent. Usually the dispute arises among the parent's children, in deciding to what extent dad can't care for himself or mom needs to have decisions made for her. But sometimes the dispute can erupt between the parent and the children. As this article states, Joan Bennett Kennedy is unhappy that her children sought to become her guardian, and may be trying to retaliate by selling her Cape Cod home. Will the children be able to prevent the sale by extending their guardianship over her? Will the children continue to maintain a united front? Stay tuned.
