Guardians x 2
by Steve West on September 10, 2020
Brenda and I completed a court appearance via Zoom meeting that determined we were Olivia's official guardians. Actually the court is her guardian and we are the court's agents. We are guardians of person and property. Those two designations are separate decisions for the judge. Guardian of person includes decision making regarding her living arrangements, medical care, and physical welfare. Property Guardianship makes us her Fiduciary Agent in charge of her finances. We've already set up a trust account for her inherited property (Grandpa's will) and any rental income pending sale of the property. It's possible the house may be a future home for her with paid supervision. Decide that much later. But in the meantime it serves as an income source with proceeds being deposited into the trust. Lauren is a co-guardian. There are also back-up guardians established in case of death. So Olivia's care has been set up for her lifetime or at least a good foundation has been established. That part's completed. Next comes finishing her schooling and preparing her entrance into the workforce.

Rather than clog the TC Board with things that mostly interest me exclusively, this seemed a more appropriate avenue. I'll probably post something nearly every day as I'm online daily just surfin' & lookin' for weird stuff. For example, how else would I have ever known of these products if I hadn't seen them using "strange" in a search string? Go »Asking For A Friend

If you recognize the title of this post, then you are already familiar with Jenny Lawson, aka The Bloggess. I had the opportunity to meet her, briefly, at the Barnes & Noble book signing in Annapolis this weekend. She was larger than life and incredibly funny as she adlibbed before reading a selection from her book, Let's Pretend This Never Happened. Go »Punched In The Nose With A Stinky Fist

I'm not mad at you that Clinton lost; I didn't vote for her either. I'm unconcerned that we have different politics. And I don't think less of you because you vote one way and I vote another. Go »

Good work! If it's anything like the process I've been through with my mother, it's a bureaucratic headache but very worthwhile, and the tasks become easier with each hurdle cleared. Congrats on getting this done, and extra congrats on getting to do it from home thanks to the pandemic. :-)
