Invite Signert To Legal Alaska Standby Temporary Guardian Forms For Free

The ward retains all legal and civil rights except those that the court has expressly limited or specifically granted to the guardian. The ward has the right to ask the court to dismiss the guardian or modify the guardianship order.

If the court appoints a temporary guardian during the guardianship case, it will expire when the court appoints a regular (full or partial) guardian, or when the petition for appointment of a guardian is dismissed.

The Alaska statutes make it clear that only a person who is incapacitated may have a guardian appointed for them by the Court. The cause of the incapacity may be any condition, including mental illness, mental retardation, senility, head injury, and other types of mental incapacity.

For Guardians Over the Person: Provide proper care, maintenance, education, and support. Supply food, clothing, shelter, and necessaries. Authorize medical, surgical, dental, psychiatric, and psychological care (although some medical treatments, such as experimental treatments, require court approval).

Parents can delegate their parental rights to another person through the Delegation of Powers by Parent or Guardian (pdf) form. The delegation can be revoked by the parents at any time for any reason, as indicated in Alaska Statute (AS 13.26. 066); no court action is required.

The court visitor is a neutral person trained or experienced in law, medical care, mental health care, pastoral care, education, rehabilitation or social work. The court appoints a visitor to make a thorough independent investigation and evaluation of all information relevant to the respondent's case.
