Consent of Guardian
A Consent of Guardian is a legal document used when a guardian agrees to a certain action or decision on behalf of a ward. The consent must be signed by the guardian and must include the guardian's name, address, and signature. It must also include a description of the action or decision that the guardian is consenting to, as well as the name and address of the ward.
The Consent of Guardian must be signed in the presence of a notary public or other authorized witness. Once the consent is signed and notarized, it is legally binding.
The Consent of Guardian is typically used in cases where a guardian is making a decision on behalf of a ward who is unable to make decisions for themselves.
Consent of Guardian is required in cases where a minor is appointed to serve as guardian for another person. This could include cases such as guardianship of a minor child, guardianship of an incapacitated adult, guardianship of a disabled adult, or guardianship of an elderly adult. The consent of the guardian is also required in cases where a guardianship is being established for a minor who is expected to receive a large inheritance or other financial benefit.
In addition, if a guardian is appointed to manage the affairs of an estate, the consent of the guardian is required.
