Costs and Timeframes Once you file your completed paperwork, it usually takes about 30 days for the court to decide if they will grant guardianship. Lawyer and court costs are generally $2,000 to $5,000, depending on where you live in Texas and how hard it is to get the guardianship completed.
There is no suitable alternative to guardianship. How do I become a guardian? You must hire an attorney. You have a right to represent yourself in court, but you do not have the right to represent another person.
In Texas, a person does not have a guardian until an application to appoint one is filed with a court, a hearing is held and a judge appoints a guardian. When the court appointment is made, the person the guardian cares for becomes a ward of the court.
The names of the forms are usually: Petition for Appointment of Guardian (or Petition for Appointment of Guardian of Minor) Petition for Conservatorship (when dealing with an incompetent adult) Order Appointing Guardian.
