[WSBAPT] Off topic - guardianship issue

[Randolph Petgrave]

Hi All,

This is a bit off topic but I would appreciate any guidance you may have.  PC lost his wife about a year ago.  They had been married for many years.  Wife had 2 sons from a previous marriage and was given full custody.  Sons are now 14 and 16.  They continued to live with PC who is their step father.  This was fine with the biological father.

Biological father just passed away.  PC needs formal authority to act on behalf of the two sons.  I have some limited experience with guardianships of incapacitated adults.  Would this basically be the same thing - in other words are the two boys "incapacitated" by minority? And if so, can I use the same guardianship forms as those for adults, just tailored to the situation?

Or . . . is there a better way to do this?

Randy
