Dallas woman fights for control after bank asks court to appoint guardian

Baldacci expected to sign bill on guardianship

AUGUSTA - Gov. John Baldacci is expected to soon sign a bill raising the legal bar for appointing a guardian, such as for someone with developmental disabilities or an elderly person.
