Standby Guardians Connecticut law permits a parent to designate a standby guardian of his or her child that takes effect on the occurrence of a specified contingency (for example, the parent's illness, death or absence from the country).

In Connecticut, a person under the age of 18 is considered to be a minor. A guardian is a person who has the legal right and duty to take care of a minor or a minor's assets. There are two types of guardianship for minors: guardianship of the person and guardianship of the estate.

A parent may select one of three triggering events: mental incapacity, physical debilitation with consent and/or death. Thus, a designated person or "standby guardian" may share care taking responsibilities as a co-guardian with a parent whose mental incapacity impairs his/her ability to care for a child.

A standby guardian is a person who is given temporary authority to care for another person's minor child, while the parent or legal guardian is still alive.

You do not need to go to court to name someone as a standby guardian for your child. You can name a standby guardian by filling out some simple forms, as long as the other parent of your child agrees to the standby guardianship, or has lost their parental rights by a court order, or has died.

STANDBY GUARDIAN: Custody of a child can also be obtained without going to court by becoming a Standby Guardian. A standby guardianship is created by having the parents sign a document available from the probate court stating that they are consenting to have the grandparent or relative take guardianship of their child.
