Hi should my sisters make my da ward of court

First, any question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area. Second, the fact that he has a will is immaterial here.

But I'm assuming his stroke has made him incapacitated to conduct his own business and he did not give a Power of Attorney to anyone. But why a ward of the court? Are they trying to get control over his assets? Does he have assets? Or are they trying to to remove themselves of any responsibility for him?

I hope it isn't "to remove all responsibility of him".

Anyway Scott, it can't be that easy and would appear to be expensive in the long run:

"In order to make someone a ward of court, that person must be declared mentally incapacitated. An application is made to the High Court and with the help of a medical inspector, the court considers all the evidence. Thereafter, a petition for wardship is presented and verified by affidavits of both the petitioner and supported affidavits of two doctors."

Tickle, where are you quoting from? The quotation seems to be jurisdiction-specific, and I don't see where Dolly is.

It is correct in general, but the specific details may vary depending on where the father is.

@AK. Yes, and I can't produce a link because it won't show up. It is from UK.Ask.Com. and Canadian law as well. It is jurisdiction specific and correct in general, but I know that we do need the state where she resides in order to give a qualified answer. I hope the OP comes back to answer some questions.

And most stoke patients make at least partial recovery.

I do agree, not enough information. Can the poster return and give us more info
