Retirement industry heads to Olympia
Legislation aimed at providing guardianship protection and protection from unqualified individuals selling living trusts, as well as the biennial battle to procure more money for health-care providers, top the retirement-related agenda at the Washington Legislatures 2007 session. Richard Sayre, a principal in the law firm of Sayre & Sayre PS, of Spokane, says a proposal to form a state-run public guardianship program, similar to such programs in many other states, would benefit senior citizens who need, but cant afford, a guardian, and also would save money for the state. Guardians often are employed to help the elderly take care of their health and financial affairs. With the program we have now, the court appoints a guardian for elderly individuals who have no children around and no money to pay for a guardian, says Sayre, whos a trustee for the elder-care section of the Washington State Bar Association.

i think the elder people have the equal right to live their life comfortably .
and this is how you can do it .
keep it up !
If an elderly person has no family around who will ensure the guardian will be responsible. If you have that covered, then great.
Comfortable living is most important for the elderly and I think that people forget that.
