Replace Text In Legal Montana Guardianship Forms For Free

Montana law provides options for protecting individuals needing assistance with decision-making, such as minors and incapacitated adults. These options include Full or Limited Guardianship, Conservatorship, Power of Attorney, and other Less Restrictive Alternatives such as Supported Decision Making.

In an adoption, the court formally removes the previous parents' rights and transfers them to you. Meanwhile, in a guardianship situation, the original parents still have their rights. Not only can they make decisions for the child, but they can potentially terminate the guardianship.

Some people use ?conservatorship? and ?guardianship? interchangeably, but, in Montana, they are distinct legal processes. A guardian is responsible for making personal and healthcare-related decisions on behalf of the disabled individual, while a conservator manages the individual's finances.

Anyone considering becoming a legal guardian for an adult in Montana must first file a petition with the court, describing why the person in question requires a guardian, along with information about the proposed guardian. The petition also needs to provide the contact information for all involved family members.

Fill out three forms: (1) the Motion to Terminate Guardianship, (2) the Affidavit in Support of Motion to Terminate Guardianship, and (3) the Order Terminating Guardianship. Make copies of the motion and affidavit for yourself and for each interested party (including the child if they are over the age of 14).
