An Arizona Order Appointing Guardian of Minor is a legal document issued by a court in Arizona granting an adult the authority to serve as a guardian for a minor. This document outlines the rights of the guardian and assigns responsibility for the well-being of the minor. There are two types of Arizona Orders Appointing Guardian of Minor: a temporary guardianship order and a permanent guardianship order. A temporary guardianship order is valid for a limited amount of time, usually up to six months. A permanent guardianship order is issued when the guardianship is intended to be indefinite. Both orders must be approved by the court in order to be valid.
