FAQ

EXPLANATION OF A PETITION FOR APPOINTMENT OF GUARDIAN(S) A guardianship may be needed if someone cannot take care of him/herself and/or his/her property. The person who needs assistance is the proposed ward. If guardianship is granted, that person will be the ward.

To appoint legal guardians for your children, you must name them as your chosen guardians in your Will. Before doing this you will need to approach the people you would like to appoint as guardians to find out whether they are willing and able to take on this responsibility.

If a child needs a legal guardian during a parent's lifetime, the parent or any other interested person must file a petition to have the court appoint a guardian. If you're not the parent, you can file a petition requesting that the court appoint you as the child's guardian.

To do this, the person you nominate will need to file a Petition for Appointment of Guardian with the Probate Court, notify certain persons and agencies, and attend a court hearing. Although the probate court will take into account your wishes, other people will also have the opportunity to request guardianship.

When writing a will, most people appoint one legal guardian for their children, but you may want to name two people if they're a couple. You can also appoint guardians for each of your children separately, giving you full control over who they would live with if something happened to you.

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.

Two lines beneath the guardian's address, you should insert the subject heading of the letter. For example, type RE: Temporary Guardianship of Minor Child, Elizabeth Bennett. Draft the body of the letter. The first paragraph of the body of the letter should name your children and state that you have custody of them.

Assuming they all agree and your father needs a guardian, you should be appointed fairly quickly. So, it could be anywhere from $1000 to $2000 depending on all of the factors. Maybe less than $1000 if it is a straightforward case. However, it is probably better if you get a lawyer to help you.

GUARDIAN: In the event I shall die as the sole parent of minor children, then I appoint ____________________________________ as Guardian of said minor children. If this named Guardian is unable or unwilling to serve, then I appoint ____________________________________ as alternate Guardian.
