anyone know how this is done? For example, would pay for caregivers be paid only out of the guardianship account, or could they be paid out of an existing account? Also, are bank statements still sent to the residence of the disabled person, and titled: for example; Jane Smith, Guardian for John Smith? Basically, how is this done? Any information is greatly welcomed!
If existing accounts have been mishandled, it would be better to move the money to a Guardian account, in which case you go to the bank with your original court order and see a bank officer to set this up. The account carries the name and SS# of the ward, but only the Guardian signs checks.
