How do you obtain guardianship over a loved one?

Answer 1

By and large, forms like a formal request for a guardianship can be obtained fairly easily. These can be printed off the web at many different sites by simply seeking them out. It is important to make sure the document is notarized by a notary public.

Answer 2

A parent can consent to the guardianship. If the parent is legally incapacitated the procedure is more complicated. You need to petition the appropriate court for appointment as guardian whether or not the parent consents to the guardianship.

The court will appoint a guardian ad litem to examine the parent's situation and report back to the court. The court will require a physicians certification that the parent is incompetent unless the parent is legally competent and has assented to the guardianship. The guardian will be required to file an inventory of the ward's estate and list all heirs at law who will be then be notified of the petition. Once appointed, the guardian will act under the supervision of the court and will be governed by state laws that govern fiduciaries.

You should seek the advice of an attorney who specializes in probate law.
