If you are able to get a medical report quickly and the GAL can conduct his/her investigation in a timely manner, it will not take 45 days. The hearing can be held (depending on local rules) in as short a time as 10 days.<br><div>

Family members can’t find a DPOA or any other directive for medical or financial authority in this situation. Spouse is unavailable to act. There are other family members that can qualify as Guardian. Seems the only option here is to file Guardianship petition, but need to get some immediate authority for proposed Guardian as to protection of assets and to get access to safe deposit boxes, open safe in residence, etc., to search for any possible DPOA, Trust, Will or other documents that may be helpful.
