In the state of Arizona, if you need to appoint a guardian or conservator for a minor on a temporary/emergency basis, there are two types of instructions you can follow. The first type is known as the “Emergency Petition for Appointment of Guardian and/or Conservator for a Minor”. This instruction requires you to file an emergency petition in the Superior Court of the county in which the minor resides. The petition must include a statement of the facts that demonstrate the urgency of the situation, a description of the minor’s current condition, and the reasons why it is necessary to appoint a guardian and/or conservator on an emergency basis. After filing the petition, the court will usually schedule a hearing within two to three days. At the hearing, the court will consider the need for the appointment of a guardian and/or conservator and will decide whether to appoint one. The second type of instruction is known as the “Petition to Appoint Guardian and/or Conservator for a Minor on a Temporary Basis”. This instruction requires you to file a petition in the Superior Court of the county in which the minor resides. The petition must include a statement of the facts that demonstrate the need for the appointment of a guardian and/or conservator on a temporary basis, a description of the minor’s current condition, and the reasons why it is necessary to appoint a guardian and/or conservator for a temporary period of time. After filing the petition, the court will usually schedule a hearing within two to three weeks. At the hearing, the court will consider the need for the appointment of a guardian and/or conservator and will decide whether to appoint one. In either situation, it is important to provide the court with as much information as possible to demonstrate the need for the appointment of a guardian and/or conservator on an emergency or temporary basis. It is also important to note that the court may decide to appoint an attorney to represent the minor in the proceedings.
