Please stop posting, we cannot give you the information ur asking for.
Secondly, why would she even have guardianship of you? Either you did legal paperwork naming her as your guardian/conservator or the state appointed her.
If the first answer fits your story go to the same lawyer who made the documents where you named her your guardian and have her name removed.
If the second answer fits your story and the state appointed her, you cannot have her removed. The state would have to remove her and they only do that if she is not taking care of your business appropriately and acting in your best interests. This would have to be proven to the state in court.
You not liking how she may be administering your funds or making your legal decisions does not mean that she is not acting in your best interests and making proper decisions for you.
Of course you can speak to a lawyer but unless you can pay one yourself which is unlikely because your daughter surely handles your finances as well, you're not going to get anywhere.
Go to this link provided by Agingcare and punch in your location info. Elder Care attorneys will appear and you can call them for guidance.
For your Daughter to get guardianship she has to petition in the County Court u live in using a NJ lawyer. You are made aware of the Court date so you, your lawyer or both can be there to contest it. A Judge does not OK guardianship without having proof from Doctors that ur not competent to handle your own affairs. Once daughter received guardianship she has to show the Court every year how your money is being spent.
I am sorry, but we as a forum cannot help you. Seems u can use a computer, look up lawyers in the Voorhees/Cherry Hill area. I bet therecare hundreds.
NOW you tell us that she has guardianship over you.
In order for someone to get guardianship over you, you would have had opportunity to appear in court in your own behalf, with testimony of your own or court appointed doctors. WAS THAT DONE?
It appears your daughter had enough proof and testimony to get guardianship over you.
In the United States that is difficult to do because courts are loathe to take a citizen's rights from him or her. VERY!
The only way now to get guardianship removed is to get an attorney.
Because your daughter will now have control of your doctors, who you see and when, your finances and everything else, this is difficult to make happen.
Are you in care? You can discuss with the administration a way to see an attorney.
You may save up any allowance in order to go on your own to an attorney.
But do know that for an attorney to take on a case for someone no longer in control of his own finances and/or medical care will be terribly difficult.
Are you currently in care, Gunny? Can you tell us a bit about what WRONGDOING you believe your daughter is involved in? There is a REASON she became your guardian. As perfect strangers we can't have a clue.
Best out to you.
