The Michigan Petition for Appointment of Limited Guardian of Minor Indian Child (Voluntary Guardianship) is a legal document used to appoint a legal guardian for an Indian minor child. This document allows a parent or guardian to appoint someone to take temporary legal responsibility for the minor child until the child reaches the age of majority. This document can be used to grant a limited guardianship or a voluntary guardianship. A Limited Guardianship grants the guardian legal responsibility for certain aspects of the minor's life. This includes decisions about the minor's education, health, religious upbringing, and other specific areas or activities. A Voluntary Guardianship grants the guardian full legal responsibility for the minor, including making decisions about the minor's education, health, religious upbringing, and other aspects of the minor's life. Both types of Michigan Petition for Appointment of Limited Guardian of Minor Indian Child (Voluntary Guardianship) require signatures from the parent or guardian, and the proposed guardian, and usually require notarization.
