The Alaska Petition for Appointment of a Full Guardian for an Adult is a legal document that is used when an individual is no longer able to make their own decisions and requires a guardian to make decisions on their behalf. The petition is typically filed by a family member, close friend, or other interested party. The petition must include detailed information about the individual, their current mental and physical condition, and why a full guardianship is necessary. The court will review the petition and decide whether the guardianship is necessary and in the best interests of the individual. If the court approves the petition, the guardian will be appointed and granted the authority to make decisions for the individual. There are two types of Alaska Petition for Appointment of a Full Guardian for an Adult: the Petition for Appointment of a Full Guardian and the Petition for Appointment of a Limited Guardian. The petition for a full guardian includes a request for the court to appoint a guardian with the authority to make all decisions related to the individual’s personal and financial affairs. The petition for a limited guardian includes a request for the court to appoint a guardian with the authority to make specific decisions related to the individual’s personal and financial affairs.
