A California Order Appointing Investigator (Guardianship) is a legal document issued by a court in the state of California that appoints an investigator to conduct an investigation into the fitness of a potential guardian. This type of order is typically issued when a court is considering whether to appoint a guardian for a minor or adult who is unable to take care of themselves. The appointed investigator is responsible for interviewing the potential guardian, gathering information about the potential guardian’s background, and assessing their overall suitability to be a guardian. The investigator will then report their findings to the court, which will then make a decision regarding the appointment of the guardian. There are two types of California Order Appointing Investigator (Guardianship): an Order Appointing an Investigator to Investigate the Suitability of a Proposed Guardian for a Minor, and an Order Appointing an Investigator to Investigate the Suitability of a Proposed Guardian for an Adult.
