This process is specified in the Michigan Probate Code. There are two types of Michigan Instructions for Appointment of Guardianship: Guardianship of a Minor and Guardianship of an Adult. In the Guardianship of a Minor, a court must appoint a guardian if a minor is orphaned, abandoned, or in need of protection. The guardian is responsible for managing the minor's affairs, including providing for their care and protection, and making decisions on their behalf. The court may appoint a guardian on the minor's behalf, or the minor's legal parent or guardian may petition the court for guardianship. In the Guardianship of an Adult, a court must appoint a guardian if the adult is incapacitated and unable to make decisions on their own. The guardian is responsible for managing the incapacitated adult's affairs, including providing for their care and protection, and making decisions on their behalf. The court may appoint a guardian on the adult's behalf, or the adult's legal guardian or representative may petition the court for guardianship. Michigan Instructions for Appointment of Guardianship involves a court review of the guardianship request and a determination of the best interests of the person for whom the guardianship is sought. The court may require a hearing or a report from a court-appointed investigator before making a decision. The appointed guardian must file an annual guardianship report with the court.
