The Wisconsin Petition for Temporary/Permanent Guardianship Due to Incompetency is a legal document used to initiate the process of appointing someone as the guardian of an incompetent adult. This document is used when an adult is unable to make decisions for themselves due to physical or mental limitations. It gives the guardian the authority to make decisions on behalf of the adult, such as medical, financial, or living arrangements. There are two types of Wisconsin Petition for Temporary/Permanent Guardianship Due to Incompetency. The first type is a temporary guardianship, which lasts for up to six months and must be renewed as needed. The second type is a permanent guardianship, which is a longer-term arrangement that may last as long as the incompetent adult is alive. Both types of guardianship require court approval and the appointment of a guardian by the court. The petition must include all relevant information about the adult in question, such as name, address, date of birth, and any medical information that might be relevant. It must also include details about the proposed guardian, such as name, address, and a statement of why they are a suitable guardian. The petition must also include the signatures of at least two witnesses who can attest to the adult's incompetence. Once the petition is filed, the court will conduct a hearing to determine if the guardianship should be granted.
