Both the parents may jointly, or, in the event of the absence of one due to death, divorce, legal separation, desertion or conviction, may singly apply for guardianship of their or as the case may be his ward beyond the age of 18 years.
What is Guardianship? A guardian is a person who is appointed to look after another person or his property. He or she assumes the care and protection of the person for whom he/she is appointed the guardian. The guardian takes all legal decisions on behalf of the person and the property of the ward.
The person who wants to be the new guardian would file a Petition for Appointment of Successor/Co-Guardian. The guardian can voluntarily resign if they no longer want to be the guardian. The court will have to choose a replacement guardian, and may appoint the public guardian if no one else is willing to be appointed.
Guardians are appointed when a court determines that an individual is at risk because they cannot make decisions for themselves and there is no less restrictive way to meet the individual's needs. Guardianship may remove a broad spectrum of rights from the individual.
However, legal guardians and foster parents are not considered legal parents by the U.S. Department of Education, so the student is not required to include them in their FAFSA. As a result, the student will be considered to be independent, which could help them qualify for more aid.
A standby guardian is a person who is given temporary authority to care for another person's minor child, while the parent or legal guardian is still alive.
If the U.S. citizen parent has died, the child's citizen grandparent or the child's U.S. citizen legal guardian may file the application on the child's behalf within 5 years of the parent's death.
