The Wisconsin Petition to Dispense with Guardian ad Item (GAL) is a legal document used by a court to waive the requirement of having a GAL appointed in an estate or guardianship matter. This petition is available in two different forms; informal and formal administration. Informal Administration is a simpler form of probate administration, which is used when the estate consists of fewer than $50,000 dollars and there is no dispute among the parties. The Petition to Dispense with GAL (Informal Administration) form is used to request that the court dispense with the appointment of a GAL in this context. This document must be completed and filed with the court, along with the appropriate filing fee. Formal Administration is used for more complex cases that involve larger sums of money, or when a dispute exists among the parties. The Petition to Dispense with GAL (Formal Administration) form is used in these cases to request that the court dispense with the appointment of a GAL. This document must be completed and filed with the court, along with the appropriate filing fee. In both cases, the court will evaluate the petition and decide whether to grant the request for dispensation with the GAL. The court will consider the best interests of the estate and any minors or disabled persons involved in the proceedings. If the petition is approved, the parties involved in the estate must make sure to follow all applicable laws and court orders.
