My daughter is in a position that could force her Dad to become a ward of the state. He is a severe alcoholic with medical and mental problems that accompany Alcoholism. He is becoming a danger to himself and others. He is currently hospitalized in a behavorial unit. She has been told that he must have a permanent caregiver or he will be a ward of the state. She is married with 2 young boys and is a flight attendant. She also lives 50 miles away from him but does have a medical POA.
He is verbally abusive to her so given all this it is impossible for her to be his caregiver, He owns a lot of land and has oil/gas royalty checks come in every m8nth. He is just not able to care for himself. No one in their right state of mind will care for him. This to me is an example of an adult being a ward of the state.
