AuburnSunshine, look in the yellow pages under attorneys for the phone number of your state's bar association. Ask to be referred to an attorney that specializes in guardianships. Because you have no control over your funds, you may well be entitled to representation at a reduced rate or for free.

It is highly unlikely a doctor has the authority to establish a guardianship unilaterally. Most often a court proceeding is required, even if the ward consents. Guardians are fiduciaries. Most states require that the guardian provide a bond to cover defalcations. Guardians are also required to periodically file an accounting with the court to ensure the guardian does not profit from self-dealing.

Furthermore, most states have provisions for limited guardianships. In other words, the guardian is only given those powers necessary to protect the ward from harm.

In view of what you have said, I cannot conceive of a judge making your daughter your guardian. If a guardianship is deemed necessary, a neutral party without an axe to grind should be appointed.

Of course, I do not expect I have all of the information about what occurred. Based upon what you have described, however, what is going on is outrageous and likely illegal.

Good luck.
