For legal cusdoty by the grandparents, cusdoty order from the court is necessary. The court will not entertain the willingness attitude of the mother when she is not mently fit and not in good state of mind. It is advisable to consult the attorney/ lawyer
Re: legal gaurdianship over grandchildren
Several procedures must be followed including filing a petition with the court granting the grandparents custody.
The ease of this situation will also depend on what you have described as "mentally incapable". If the mother is able to give her assent to the change in custody this will be easier then if she is not legally capable based upon her mental state. Is the children's father living this may be an issue depending on his legal standing.
