Is our dad currently your legal guardian? This may be a good time to talk this over with him.

If there are parts of your life that you think would be best managed by someone else there are a variety of "power of attorney" that may be given to another. Some general, some specific, dome durable. etc.

Is your dad in some way providing for you? Like do you live at home? Does he provide financial support? All good reasons why it would be a good time to talk to him about your fears. Also, you may be named in your father's will, or listed on a deed or bank account and seeking a legal guardian without his awareness may have a consequence on him and your step mom.

That's the worst thing you could do. If you have a counselor, please speak with them about this. You don't want to sign your life over to anyone. You will lose your legal and personal rights. That's serious. Don't do that. You'll be sorry.

I wouldn't do that.

If you legitimately need help with managing your finances, then hire a professional service rather than asking someone who you know personally to do it.

There's too many ways that this could go wrong when you ask family and friends to manage your finances for you.

I don’t see the connection between your ask and your dad getting older. What does your dad life have to do with you needing a legal guardian?!!!

NO NO NO.....

Talk to your social worker about what your best choice for a legal guardian would be.

Note: if you break up or piss off the GF... and she is your legal guardian (and possibly your representative payee) she could easily rip you off and make you homeless.
