The New York Petition By Person On Behalf of Person Under 21 For Appointment of Guardian of Person Or Permanent Guardian is a legal document used when a person is seeking to have a guardian appointed for a person who is under the age of 21. This petition is typically used to have a guardian appointed for a minor who is unable to make decisions on their own due to their age or disability. This petition must be filed in the county where the minor lives and can be filed either by the person seeking the guardianship or by an attorney representing them. There are two types of New York Petition By Person On Behalf of Person Under 21 For Appointment of Guardian of Person Or Permanent Guardian. The first type is a Temporary Guardianship, which is an appointment made for a short term and usually expires after the minor turns 21. This type of guardianship is typically used for medical decisions or to manage the minor’s finances until they become an adult. The second type is a Permanent Guardianship, which is a longer-term appointment and is typically used to provide full-time care for the minor. This type of guardianship can last until the minor turns 18 or is no longer in need of full-time care.
