California Petition to Extend Guardianship of the Person is a legal document used to request an extension or amendment of an existing guardianship of the person. This petition is typically filed in the county in which the ward (the person for which the guardianship has been established) resides in California. The petitioner, usually a conservator, is typically the person or organization that has been appointed as the guardian of the ward’s person. The petition includes information regarding the ward, the guardian’s name and contact information, the length of the current guardianship, and the reason for the extension or amendment. The court will review the petition and make a decision based on the best interest of the ward. There are three types of California Petition to Extend Guardianship of the Person: 1. Petition for Extension of Guardianship of the Person: This petition is used when the guardian wishes to extend the guardianship of the person for an additional period of time. 2. Petition for Amendment of Guardianship of the Person: This petition is used when the guardian wishes to amend the current guardianship in order to add more specific powers or limits to the guardian’s authority. 3. Petition for Termination of Guardianship of the Person: This petition is used when the guardian wishes to terminate the guardianship of the person.
