Location: South East | I recieved one set of paperwork. I didn't get the financial ones, only the "guardianship" ones. I just filled them out and didn't THINK about all my issued with this!! grrr...
If I think about it, it'll just make me so angry! I have them all three filled out and ready to send in. ONly the last question is about filing the financial papers, which I do not have.
I called the probate court, with heart racing! I have never had a great time dealing with them. Last year I blessed them out three times, once over the phone, and twice in person. ::eyes rolling:: I gave up. You can't educate gov. employees. They have cushy jobs and stick to the letter of the law, and when they don't stick to the letter of the law.. oh, well. It's your problem, not thiers. They don't care to see where they are wrong.
Today when I called, I got a different lady on the phone and she was actually helpful!! She answered my questions and said they were shorthanded this week. She asked me to wait unit Friday or Monday to bring in my papers for notarization (this is the same papers that they told me last year I did not have to bring in for notorization, that I could just mail them.. which I knew was not correct because it has to be notorized by a clerk court... but I digress).
I asked her about the financial papers and she said all paperwork is computer generated. When the computer kicks out my name, I'll get my forms when it comes up in line. (these are the same papers that they told me last year I did not have to file ever again, that once was enough.. when it states on the paperwork that they are due annually! When I questioned that, they just said to check that I had already filed and not to worry about it.) 
Today, this new lady told me to just write on the paperwork that I have not filed financial forms because I have yet to recieve them! lol!
who knows when I'll get them? I didn't even tell her that they are 4 months overdue already..
I'm dealing with this much better than I did last year. Now I'm at the stage of just getting it over with... shaking my head at the absurdity of it all... filling out the forms so I don't have to look at them again until next year. (and praying the computer does not kick out my name ever again, lol) laughing the laugh of a person stuck in a trap of which only time will release...

Paperwork woes.. it's that time again
That's why I am following my lawyers advice and just filing the forms on time and not making (too many) waves.
