subject RE: guardian legal documents
mailed-by ________.comwhy you have a lot of question… sana kung ginusto mong pumunta dito sana di ka nag kakaganyan, do u think is that easy to take care another responsibility? did your mom mention anything her responsibility?(like all the bills) my dad or your uncle was so “upset” just to think how he can handle those responsibility, na dapat your the one who obbligate…dont you know na high school lang ang natapos nila my dad(he’s having hard time to speak & understand english) my dad was to old to be a legal guardian of your mom, but who’s gona be the one? di ba dapat IKAW… U should thankful to my dad to take all the responsibilities. dont worry di namin papabayaan ang mommy mo, even u guys thinking how bad we are(all your mom siblings), she was still a respectful auntie & sister in our family.

subject Re: guardian legal documents
mailed-by ________.comYou seem to be admitting a lot in this email. You admit that your Papa Manding is the court-appointed guardian of my mother. You are stating that your Papa Manding is responsible for my mother’s wellbeing as an “alleged incapacitated person” (AIP). You are also aware of your father’s role as a legal guardian. But why are you speaking in behalf of your father now? Why is your Papa Manding upset in handling this responsibility?
More questions:
Did your Papa Manding initiate the guardianship petition?
Why is your Papa Manding so concern with my mother’s bills?
Is your Papa Manding the guardian of my mother’s money too?You also seem to be admitting that your father is incompetent in his role as a legal guardian. If you know that your Papa Manding is old and lacking patience and skill as a legal guardian, then your father is not competent in his role.
By the way, are you now suggesting the appointment of a professional guardian over your unskilled father? If you are aware that your Papa Manding lacks guardianship training, then your father is putting my mother’s life at risk.
And why are you insisting that I should thank your father for his ineptness?
My thoughts (more questions):
Why was Uncle Manding given the role as my mother’s guardian?
Is Uncle Manding’s appointment only temporary? Or, is he an emergency guardian only?
Is Uncle Manding qualified to become a guardian of an “alleged incapacitated person” (AIP)?
Is Uncle Manding’s appointment as guardian appropriate for the interests or needs of my mother?
Is Uncle Manding serving my mother’s best interest?
Will my mother before her AIP status choose Uncle Manding to act as her legal guardian?
