A person who isn't a parent can become a guardian only by court order or under a will. They can't become a child's guardian just because someone puts it into an agreement. Once a person is named as a guardian, they'll always be a guardian unless: a court order takes away their right to be a guardian, or.

In many cases, temporary guardianship can be obtained without going to court. This is usually done through a power of attorney agreement between the parents and the guardian. A power of attorney legally authorizes the temporary guardian to make healthcare and legal decisions on behalf of the minor.

The guardianship of an adult in Louisiana is uniquely known as a curatorship and it has the same definition as conservatorship as used in other states. A curatorship is Louisiana's term for the authority given to one adult to take over the personal and/or financial affairs of another adult.

Legal guardianship means a court grants someone other than a biological parent the right to care for a minor. Custody (most often) generally describes a parent caring for his or her own child. Guardianship does not always grant custody or definitively mean a biological parent's custody is revoked.

An individual must undertake a court process to be considered for Louisiana guardianship. The first step they will take is to file a petition. A doctor or other medical personnel will examine the individual who has Louisiana guardianship appointed on their behalf.

A Guardianship case can months to complete. Initially, a petition is filed with the Court along with a proposed Order to Show Cause. After review, the Court will sign the Order to Show Cause which sets the Court date which is usually 3-4 weeks later.
