Description

This is a sample Guardian Ad Litem Order of Appointment. When a petition is filed to establish a guardianship, the court appoints a guardian ad Litem (GAL). The GAL represents the client's best interests (not the client him or herself) in the guardianship proceeding. Optional Ore Tenus Motion include, unless changed as needed.

The Mississippi Guardian Ad Item Order of Appointment is a court order issued by a Mississippi court appointing a Guardian Ad Item (GAL) for a minor or incapacitated person. The GAL acts as an advocate for the minor or incapacitated person in court proceedings, such as divorce, custody, guardianship, adoption, and other legal proceedings. The GAL is responsible for investigating the facts of the case, providing expert testimony, and making recommendations to the court on behalf of the minor or incapacitated person. There are two types of Mississippi Guardian Ad Item Order of Appointment: a General Order of Appointment and a Special Order of Appointment. The General Order of Appointment is issued in cases where the court believes a GAL is needed. The Special Order of Appointment is issued in cases where the court believes a GAL is needed and where the GAL is designated to serve in a specialized capacity, such as an investigator or expert witness.
