Fayetteville, GA asked in Family Law and Elder Law for Georgia

Q: How do i file a motion for due process concerning a family matter in court that has been ongoing since the fall?

My grandmother was abused by her caregiver (daughter) financially which caused APS to investigate and place her SSI check on hold. For the past 6 months I have taken care of her throughout this investigation. I took on the role because I did not want to see my grandmother placed in a nursing home she is also cognitive to perform basic functions on her own. I receive no financial help from the state nor her conservator who was appointed in January. I asked the courts for a conservator to help solve the issue with family taking her SSI check hoping that will help. instead It has placed a financial strain on myself to receive little to no help from those appointed to help. The conservator will only pay bills she deems necessary and not the full amount and threatens to place my grandmother in a senior home. I would like to file a motion for due process and also file a motion to be ym grandmother guardian and release the conservator of her duties.

A: Schedule an appointment with a local attorney to discuss your case. You would need to file to remove the conservator and appoint yourself or the county conservator.
