Dad's girlfriend helped him hire a non appointed lawyer. Lawyer now billing me. I had DPOA three years before my Dad was diagnosed with Dementia. A neurologist activated my DPOA and also added diagnosis of Althizmer. My Dad met a woman online and she helped my Dad get my DPOA revoked. I proceed to apply for Guardianship, she took my Dad to OK. and got married. It took 7 months to have court appointed me as guardian. I paid my lawyer, court appointed lawyer and now Dad's lawyer billing me because Dad & wife refused to pay balance due. Dad's lawyer states I need to pay him since Dad is my ward. What should I do?
I think that should be your first answer to the lawyer: You did not, as your father's guardian, retain him, and you will not, as your father's guardian, pay his bill.
