I'm sorry that i can't offer you any LEGAL help but i did want to ask whoever answers this post, IAAL or LegalBeagle, what is the difference between power of attorney(custody by madate) and guardianship? I'm a little stumped by it. Call me "ignorant"!!
Also, if you are the one who appeared before an attorney to have the guardianship drawn up, you should be able to reappear before the attorney and have it revoked!! Please don't crucify me if that was invalid or as you would say *wrong*.
