The South Dakota Guardian-Conservator Appointment Checklist is a document used to ensure that guardians and conservators are appointed in accordance with South Dakota law. It is a comprehensive guide that outlines the requirements for the appointment of both guardians and conservators. The Checklist includes details such as the qualifications of the applicant, the filing of necessary forms, and the appointment of a guardian or conservator. There are two types of South Dakota Guardian-Conservator Appointment Checklists: the Adult Guardianship/Conservatorship Appointment Checklist and the Minor Guardianship/Conservatorship Appointment Checklist. The Adult Guardianship/Conservatorship Appointment Checklist is used to appoint a guardian or conservator for an adult who is mentally or physically incapacitated. The Minor Guardianship/Conservatorship Appointment Checklist is used to appoint a guardian or conservator for a minor who is not yet 18 years of age.
