GUARDIANSHIP OF THE PERSON AND/OR ESTATE OF A MINOR
Fee: $989 (with Temporary Orders)
Fee: $989 (without Temporary Orders)

The We The People Guardianship of the Person and/or Estate of a Minor with or without Temporary Orders Package can be used by someone who needs a court order giving them guardianship of the person of a minor child and/or guardianship of any money that might be due the minor.

In general, a parent does not need guardianship of the person of their minor child. But there are special instances where a child may inherit some money or be the beneficiary of a life insurance policy and the institution holding the funds will not release them except to someone who has been appointed by the court as the guardian of the child's estate. Where there is an issue of the guardianship of the estate of a minor, it is often the child's natural parent who is the petitioner.

Multiple children can be included on a petition as long as they have at least one parent in common (for example, all children have the same mother, but may have different fathers). There can also be more than one person asking to be guardian (i.e., co-guardians). We The People cannot assist in situations where a parent is seeking to appoint a stand-by guardian.

TEMPORARY ORDERS

Establishing legal guardianship for a minor can take several months depending upon the county where the Petition is being filed. It includes at least one court hearing as well as giving notice of the proceedings to both parents, both sets of grandparents, and any siblings over the age of 12, as well as various state and county agencies. The minor child's parents and the minor child if over the age of 12 must be personally given copies of the guardianship paperwork. The court may order an investigation to make sure that the guardianship is in the best interest of the child.

If there is an urgent need to appoint a legal guardian for a child, and the proper documents are prepared and filed, the court can appoint a temporary guardian for the time period prior to the hearing date.

MORE ABOUT GUARDIANSHIP

The We The People Guardianship of the Person of a minor child is a legal process that takes place in court and by which an interested person other than the child's parents, such as relatives, family friends or other interested persons is awarded custody of the child or authority over a child's property.

While a parent usually does not need guardianship of the person of their minor child, there are special instances where a child may inherit some money or be the beneficiary of a life insurance policy and the institution holding the funds will not release them except to someone who has been appointed by the court as the guardian of the child's estate. Where there is an issue of the guardianship of the estate of a minor, it is often the child's natural parent who is the petitioner.

Appointment as guardian requires the preparation and filing of a petition and approval by the court. While at times a guardian of a minor chilled may be needed because the child's parents have died, a guardian of a minor child may also be required in cases of neglect or child abuse.

A guardianship does not terminate the legal relationship between the biological parents and the child. A guardian of a minor child is responsible for providing for food, clothing, shelter, education, and all the medical needs of the child. In addition, a guardian of a minor child is required to attend to the safety, protection, and physical and emotional growth and needs of the minor child. Guardianship automatically ends when the child reaches the age of 18, is adopted, marries, is emancipated by a court order, enters military service, or is deceased. In addition, the minor child, a parent, or the guardian may petition the court to terminate the guardianship of the minor child.

Due to special laws and complexities, We The People cannot assist if the minor is of Native American or Native Alaskan heritage, if the minor is a ward of the court (for example, if there are on-going juvenile court matters), or if the minor is a resident of or on leave from a state institution.
