A guardianship is one form of substitute decision-making which is established through a legal proceeding. The court, after finding by clear and convincing evidence that a person is incompetent, may appoint a guardian to manage the person's care. Iowa Code §633.3(20) and §633.552.

An application for the emergency appointment of a temporary guardian or conservator can be filed and must include information regarding the name and address of the respondent and the proposed guardian or conservator, and the rea- son for the emergency appointment.

To end a minor guardianship before the child turns 18, you must file a motion to request the court to terminate the guardianship, and the court may hold a hearing on the motion. When a child turns age 18, the minor guardianship automatically ends with the filing of a final report. See Iowa Code section 232D. 503.

Can Conservators or Guardians Get Paid for Their Work? Yes. A guardian or conservator may charge a reasonable fee for work done for the protected person. If the protected person has assets, the court will usually order payment from the protected per- son.
