A New York Order Appointing Law Guardian is a court document signed by a judge that orders the appointment of a law guardian for a child or person who is deemed to be in need of legal representation. The law guardian is usually an attorney or other qualified professional who is appointed to act as a legal representative for the child or person in a court of law. There are two types of New York Order Appointing Law Guardian: a limited guardianship appointment and an unrestricted guardianship appointment. A limited guardianship appointment means that the law guardian will represent the child or person only in the legal proceedings that the court has specified, while an unrestricted guardianship appointment authorizes the law guardian to represent the child or person in all legal matters. The Order Appointing Law Guardian also outlines the terms of the appointment and may include provisions regarding the powers and duties of the law guardian, such as the ability to make decisions on behalf of the child or person in legal proceedings.
