New Hampshire Petition to Transfer Guardianship/Conservatorship is a legal document used to transfer guardianship from one party to another. This type of petition is typically used when the original guardian or conservator is no longer able to fulfill their duties or when a child or incapacitated adult is in need of a new guardian or conservator. There are two types of New Hampshire Petition to Transfer Guardianship/Conservatorship: Temporary Transfer and Permanent Transfer. A Temporary Transfer Petition is typically filed when the current guardian or conservator is unable to fulfill their duties for a limited amount of time due to illness, travel, or other circumstances. This type of petition requests that the court appoint a temporary guardian or conservator to take care of the minor or incapacitated adult until the original guardian or conservator is able to resume their duties. A Permanent Transfer Petition is typically filed when the current guardian or conservator is no longer able to fulfill their duties or when a new guardian or conservator is needed. This type of petition requests that the court appoint a new permanent guardian or conservator to take care of the minor or incapacitated adult in place of the original guardian or conservator. In either case, the New Hampshire Petition to Transfer Guardianship/Conservatorship must be accompanied by supporting documents, such as evidence of the current guardian or conservator's incapacity, evidence of the proposed guardian or conservator's qualifications, and a list of all interested parties. After the petition is filed with the court, a hearing is usually held to determine whether the transfer is in the best interests of the minor or incapacitated adult.
