The Delaware Affidavit of Proposed Guardian is a document used to provide proof and assurance that the proposed guardian of a minor or incapacitated person in Delaware is fit for the role. The purpose of the affidavit is to provide the court with the necessary information and documentation to decide whether the proposed guardian is suitable and qualified to be the legal guardian of the minor or incapacitated person. The affidavit is most commonly used when a minor child or an incapacitated adult needs a legal guardian appointed to take care of them and manage their affairs. It is often used in cases of adoption, guardianship of children, and guardianship of incapacitated adults. The Delaware Affidavit of Proposed Guardian includes information about the proposed guardian, including their age, residence, occupation, and relationship to the minor or incapacitated person. It also includes a statement of the proposed guardian's financial and mental capacity, as well as a statement of the proposed guardian's willingness to accept the responsibility of guardianship. There are two types of Delaware Affidavit of Proposed Guardian: a Standard Affidavit and an Interlocutory Affidavit. The Standard Affidavit is used when the proposed guardian is not related to the minor or incapacitated person. The Interlocutory Affidavit is used when the proposed guardian is related to the minor or incapacitated person.
