Your best bet is to file a petition to establish a guardianship for her. The court appoints a guardian ad litem on her behalf and then they can establish her competency. If the court finds necessary, it will appoint a guardian over her person and her estate. We frequently see petitions filed by DSHS too. Please let us know if you have further questions.
