I have an older sister who has battled addiction to prescription drugs and alcohol. As a result, she's currently on probation for several DWIs and currently in trouble for driving without a license.
Her attorney, for some reason, wants to appoint me as her guardian. I think he believes she will get a lighter sentence/probation at her hearing in June, if she has a guardian.
I want to help her out, but frankly I have no control over her. What I need to know is, in Texas, are there different levels of guardianship, and what liabilities/responsibilities would I have? I wanted to get an opinion before I talk to her attorney, because I don't completely trust his motives.
Long and short is, I don't want to be liable for any of her actions. Otherwise I'd be OK with it.
Thanks in advance.
