From Dad: In 1992 I was guardian for Dorothy Ann Terrell and it was up to me to send her a check every month from her funds and with power to send extra $ if I thought it was necessary. She was always having an emergency AND the need for extra money. She reported me to the state ethics commission (they never found anything wrong) whenever I said no to requests for the extra funds.
