FAQ
The legal guardianship document is a formal declaration to the court system that another party is responsible for the well-being of the minors. No one can predict when an accident or other disaster may occur. Some include a legal guardianship document in their wills to determine who will raise their children.
A custodial parent is a parent who has either sole physical custody of the child or the parent with whom the child resides for a majority of the time. Both parents can be custodial; courts often give two parents who are both fit parents joint custody of the child.
Generally, guardians fulfill the role of a parent for a child who is not their own. However, in situations where a child has significant medical needs or the child has financial assets, the child's parent may obtain a guardianship over the child or the child's estate.
You can establish guardianship of a child by filing papers in court. Initially, file a petition stating your interest in obtaining guardianship along with a filing fee. You'll also want to file a letter of consent from the child's parents.
EXPLANATION OF A PETITION FOR APPOINTMENT OF GUARDIAN(S) A guardianship may be needed if someone cannot take care of him/herself and/or his/her property. The person who needs assistance is the proposed ward. If guardianship is granted, that person will be the ward.
The names of the forms are usually: Petition for Appointment of Guardian (or Petition for Appointment of Guardian of Minor) Petition for Conservatorship (when dealing with an incompetent adult) Order Appointing Guardian.
The key difference is the child's parentage: custody describes a parent's care of a child, whereas legal guardianship is granted to someone who is not the child's biological parent. In some situations, a child may be under the guardianship of an individual while remaining in the custody of their parents to a degree.
Related DefinitionsParent or legal guardian means the custodial parent for a person under eighteen (18) years of age or the legal guardian with responsibility for health care decisions for a person of any age.
Minor children cannot inherit money or assets outright, so a custodian is named or appointed to manage the assets until the child reaches an appropriate age. A guardian, in contrast, is responsible for overseeing the child's day-to-day physical and financial well-being.
