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.

Christmas Post #1: Yeah, I Said Christmas
It's way before Thanksgiving, I know. But I'm doing my part to save those last minute shoppers from themselves. Allowing time for the infamous shipping & handling, now is the time to begin the annual spending free-for-all. Go »Halloween Post #6: Celebrities In Costume
Small sampling of early costume parties. I don't remember vampires draping themselves in roadkill but what do I know. And Diddy looks like he's holding the head of Elvis. Go »Homecoming
Brenda and I went to closing for our new house today. Everything went smoothly and an hour and a half later I left with the keys in my pocket. We're moving this weekend so I'll be a little scarce here. Go »Even Action Jeans Can't Help These Guys
Kung Fu movie auditions of martial art knuckleheads. The face falling guy with the nunchakus remains my favorite but the first guy is a close second. He knocks over a dummy that's not moving and in his own mind is a karate champion. Go »Emptying My Blog Folder
Removing links like a giant hair clog. Odd little internet games. Big thumbnail list of T-shirts - a few are pretty funny. 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. :-)
