South Carolina Request for Rule 608 Appointment is a type of request form used to request the appointment of a guardian or conservator for a disabled or incapacitated person. It is used when someone wishes to assume responsibility for the care and support of a disabled adult who is unable to make decisions for themselves. The form is designed to meet the requirements of South Carolina Rule 608 and must be completed and filed with the probate court in the county where the disabled person resides. There are two types of Rule 608 Appointments: Guardian of the Person and Conservator of the Estate. A Guardian of the Person is responsible for making decisions related to the disabled person's health, welfare, and safety, while a Conservator of the Estate is responsible for making decisions related to the disabled person's financial affairs. Once the form is submitted and approved, a court order will be issued appointing either a Guardian or Conservator, depending on the type of appointment requested.
