Dear Karen and Friends,
I have explored guardianships and special needs trusts and my parents, are in denial. I have always attacked problems head-on, and at the same time, respected my brother, Antonio, who is 56, with an intellectual disability (ID/DD). We have always resolved issues with family conferences.
Presently, I am working with a social worker, who knows my parents, brother, and I, well, and when my parents pass, we will see what the will and power of attorney says, and if we do not feel it takes care of Antonio well, be prepared to go to court.
Still not giving up. Working to get Antonio settled while both of my parents are alive and I am alive (I have chronic health problems, even though I am 54).
When there’s life, there’s hope!
Yours truly,
Monica
