Until my aunt died, she and her husband ran a coffee shop, owned by the city I think. They did it because there is some rule that has to do with the blind working there, but I do not know the specifics.
Then, my aunt died and I guess the owner?manager? decided it was finally time to make her move.
After awhile she, I'll call her Bev but I know that is not her name, thought it was time for her to be my uncle's guardian. He worked in the shop and all I ever heard was that he was acting a bit obsessive about my aunts things. He kept her closet the way it was , it had been over 10 years since her death. and just had trouble letting her, or her things, go. He was not poor, but not rich, just kind of average I suppose.
So, there was a court hearing to give her guardianship, and I don't know how my cousins found out, (maybe they have to be notified?) but all 3 of his kids were there.
The judge told Bev that he had 3 competent, loving kids, who took an active part in their Dad's life, he does NOT need a guardian!
