I gave my mother gaurdinship of my seventeen year old daughter does she need gaurdinship papers?

Answer 1

You have to make it legal. Check your state laws.

When my mother let me live with my aunt she had to have a paper notarized stating my aunt was responsible for me even medically.

When i turned 17, my mom gave me my own paper telling em I was on my own and I was responsible for me. Even medically too!

Answer 2

Yes. When people say to get something in writing (as in 'He will pay me back the money he owes me'- 'Get it in writing!'), you might think it's OK to just have the person write something down and sign it. It's always better to run it by a legal expert (even a paralegal if you are afraid of lawyers and wouldn't go to one) and have whatever it is notarized by a notary public (you can usually have access to a notary public by asking at the bank where you hold an account. They can tell you where to find one locally and sometimes an employee there is a notary public.)
Having something clear in writing that is legally binding will save you a lot of heartache and expense later on.
Guardianship papers are an absolute necessity - do you want someone who has an affect on any aspect of your daughter's life (legal, medical, educational, even just a local Town service) to take someone's word for such an important responsibility?

Answer 3

Yes. She has to have them to be able to seek medical care for her if needed and to also add her to her medical insurance if needed. She will also need them so that she can file taxes with her and so she can enroll her in school.

Answer 4

Needs to be done legally. Consult an attorney.

Answer 5

yes
