Child Guardianship
My granddaughter age 15 is living with me with her father’s consent. Her mother is deceased. Should I pursue guardianship or simply get a power of attorney to act in her behalf

    ANSWER:
    No need for a guardianship at this point. Your granddaughter will be 18 — and legally an adult — in less than 36 months. A power of attorney as allowed by ORS 109.056 will be sufficient.
