How much does the Guardian of an elderly person and estate charge?

My wife's grandmother has a guardian of her person and estate but both are in another state. She has applied for and received guardianship of her grandmother, but just her person. The estate portion for several reasons needs to stay in the other state while assets are disposed of. My wifes lawyer needs for my wife to find out what a Guardian in Mo. charges as he will be requesting my wife to receive something from the estate as they have been paying it all along. My wife happily does it for nothing for the last 4 months and may continue doing it for free but the lawyer of the guardian in the other state asked for my wifes lawyer to find out what a Guardian makes/charges in missouri.

It is usually prescribed by law and is a percentage of the estate. It should be the same from one atty. to the next.

you have to find the guradian first then answer 3 questions if you answer correctly you may pass

You would need to contact either the Clerk of Court, Family Division or the state agency that regulates Elder Affairs in Missouri.

You can contact your local senior center. They will give you all the info on where to go for any help and give you guidelines to help with her grandmother. The financial part of this will be what your state has set up for her care depending on her illness.They will come in and show you how to do the daily activities without breaking your back and still having quality time with each other. I have been taking care of my grandmother for 6 years. Never turn down the respite care and always make some time for your wife to have a few moments by herself she will need that.

God Bless you.
