Guardianship is a legal relationship established when a person or institution named in a will or appointed by the court is tasked to take care of minor children or incompetent adults, which is also sometimes referred to as conservatorship. To become a guardian, someone appeals to the court to appoint them as the guardian, and this could be a family member, close friend, or a local official responsible for the welfare of a minor. Guardianship of minors remains under court supervision until the child reaches 18 years of age.
A Temporary Guardianship Form is a legal document specific to child guardianship. It is created when the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) of a minor child are unable to provide care for the child for a temporary period of time, and they appoint another person to serve as the temporary guardian.
A Petition for Appointment of Guardian is a legal document that is used to request the appointment of a guardian for a minor or an adult who is unable to manage their own affairs.
