The person from the probate court came yesterday for the home visit. She explained the procedure here in Texas. First a constable will come tothe house and serve Danny. Then we get some letters in the mail witha court date.Dannys brothers will also get certified letters sincethey are next of kin. Danny will be contacted by his lawyer. Thenfinally we go to court. Danny won`t have to go (thank goodness!). Hereally hates waiting and court is all about waiting. After havingthis set in motion and we get guardianship it is all pretty automaticin the following years. We just have to do yearly paper work to keepit currant.So far it has been pretty easy. I should have started earlier though.I thought i just needed a letter from his doctor but I needed arecent report from a psychologist. So of course that took some timeto get the appointment and the report.With all the new privacy lawsits important to have guardianship so you can have imput on medicalcare ,education etc. Since Danny turned 18 he has had to sign all hisown paperwork and we all know how many pages that can be. To get hisSSI started he had to sign something like 13 pages. Danny is not bigon writing either.I keep telling him you`ll get money "SIGN IT". Hereally likes when his check comes :) Whew another milestone passed(almost).Tracy
