The Hawaii Notice of Appointment of Guardian and Notice of Right To Request Modification is a legal document issued by the court in cases where a guardian is appointed to manage the affairs of someone who is incapacitated or otherwise unable to make decisions for themselves. The document states the name of the guardian appointed, the powers granted to them, the date the appointment was made, and the date the guardianship will terminate. It also provides notice to all interested parties of the guardianship appointment and informs them of their right to request a modification of the guardianship. There are two main types of Hawaii Notice of Appointment of Guardian and Notice of Right To Request Modification: Temporary Guardianship and Permanent Guardianship. A Temporary Guardianship is typically used when the individual is unable to make decisions for themselves for a limited period of time due to illness, disability, or other incapacitation. It terminates when the individual regains their ability to care for themselves. A Permanent Guardianship is used when the individual is unable to make decisions for themselves due to a long-term or permanent medical condition. It does not terminate until the individual dies or a court order revokes it.
