This petition is typically filed in the Probate Court of Centennial, Colorado, and it plays a crucial role in ensuring the well-being and protection of individuals who are unable to make decisions for themselves. There are two primary types of Centennial Colorado Petition for Appointment of Co-Guardian and/or Successor Guardian: 1. Co-Guardian Petition: — A Co-Guardian Petition is filed when the current guardian(s) of a minor or incapacitated person wishes to appoint an additional person to share the responsibilities and decision-making authority. This could be due to various reasons, such as the need for additional support or expertise in certain matters, or the primary guardian's desire to ensure that the best interests of the individual are met. — The Co-Guardian Petition outlines the reasons why a co-guardian is necessary, provides information about the proposed co-guardian's qualifications, and explains how the current guardian(s) and the proposed co-guardian will work together to fulfill their duties. 2. Successor Guardian Petition: — A Successor Guardian Petition is filed when the current guardian(s) is unable or unwilling to continue serving as a guardian due to various circumstances, including incapacity, death, relocation, or resignation.

It also presents information about the proposed successor guardian's qualifications and their willingness to assume the responsibilities. In both types of petitions, it is essential to provide specific information about the minor or incapacitated person, including their name, age, current living situation, medical condition (if applicable), and any relevant legal documentation, such as prior guardianship orders or healthcare directives.
