Type In Legal Michigan Guardianship Forms For Free

Guardianship is a court order that allows one person to make decisions for another person. There are two types of adult guardianships in Michigan. The first is for persons described as ?legally incapacitated individuals? and the other is specifically for people with intellectual or developmental disabilities.

Every year that the guardianship continues, the guardian must file with the Probate Court the Annual Report on Condition of Minor (PC 654) which updates the Probate Court on the condition of the minor. This form must be filed each year on the anniversary date of the issuance of the Letters of Guardianship.

Broadly speaking, Michigan law states that a guardian is responsible for the ward's care, custody, and control. Determine where the ward will live. Make sure that the individual has suitable food, education, and care. Protect the individual's property and personal effects.

The filing fee to start each guardianship is $175.00. Cash, check (made out to Oakland County Probate Court) or credit card. Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover accepted.

A Guardianship is started by filing a petition with the Probate Court. You can obtain this form from the Probate Court office. This form is also available online. Try to include as much information as possible in the Petition to help the Judge understand why a guardian is necessary.
