A California Guardianship Investigation Packet is a collection of forms, documents, and checklists used to determine if a guardian should be appointed over an adult or minor. The packet includes a petition, medical certificate, declaration of incapacity, consent of proposed guardian, and other necessary forms to investigate the need for a guardian. Depending on the situation, there are three types of California Guardianship Investigation Packet: guardianship of the person, guardianship of the estate, and conservatorship. The guardianship of the person packet includes forms to investigate the need for an individual to be appointed as a guardian over another person who has been deemed incompetent or incapacitated. The guardianship of the estate packet includes forms to investigate the need for an individual to be appointed as a guardian over another person's finances or assets. The conservatorship packet includes forms to investigate the need for an individual to be appointed as a guardian over both the person and their estate.
