The guardian of the person of a minor shall be entitled to the custody and control of the ward and shall provide for the ward's education, support, and maintenance. 2. A guardian or limited guardian of an incapacitated person shall act in the best interest of the ward.
Court costs for an uncontested guardianship average around $600. Attorney fees can vary widely, typically less than $1,000 for an uncontested guardianship.
A guardian is appointed by the Circuit Court's Probate Division to have the care and custody of a minor or of a person found to be incapacitated. The guardian of an adult is not responsible for the financial care of his/her ?ward? (§475.010(8), RSMo). A conservator is appointed by the Circuit Court's Probate Division.
Though not always absolutely necessary, a person applying for guardianship or conservatorship is probably well advised to do so with the assistance of an attorney.
But the court has to consider alternatives before placing that person in a Guardianship. This includes Power of Attorney, Supported Decision Making, and Limited Guardianship.
Custody is determined in Family Court. Guardianship is a court-ordered relationship where an adult is appointed by the court to care for a minor child ("ward") whose circumstances require it, and to make decisions about the child's education, support and maintenance.
In Missouri, Guardianship begins with a Petition to the probate court. This Petition states that a person needs a guardianship. Anyone can file the Petition. The court will then have to decide whether that person can make decisions for themselves.
