Very helpful book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book makes sense of the whole convoluted process of getting guardianship. Along with a self help website, I've managed to fill out all the forms I need to get guardianship of my grandsons. The explanations and samples are very helpful.
This book saved me money.

I bought this book to help me become my step-son's guardian. I was able to discern that it would best for my situation instead, to have a Guardianship Authorization. I would not have known about this without this books description. I wish that it had a CD-ROM with it so that filling out the forms would have been much easier.
A must if you want to avoid a money sucking lawyer

I recently became a guardian of my young nephew but could not afford and didn't want to deal with a lawyer. This book made it possible. It layed out the steps in a well structured manner. I was very satisfied with my purchase. The forms it included with the book were just great. Buy it.
Excellent resource, whether or not you will use an attorney!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 28 years ago
As an attorney who regularly represents clients in guardianship proceedings, I strongly recommend that my clients read The Guardianship Book so that they understand the sometimes confusing process. In some cases, I hand the book to my clients during our first meeting, as "homework" to read before I will prepare and file a petition. For those who cannot afford an attorney, I recommend this as a resource that will save considerable time and avoid court hearing delays. For clients who can afford to pay my fees, the book still saves my time explaining many issues -- the $25 book can easily save $250 in attorney fees. (Mark J. Welch, Pleasanton, CA)
