Hawaii Petition For Appointment of A Guardian of An Incapacitated Person is a legal document that is filed in a Hawaii court when a person is unable to make decisions for themselves due to incapacity. The petition is filed by a family member, friend, or other interested party who is seeking to be appointed as the guardian of the incapacitated person. The petition must be supported by evidence and must include a statement of the incapacitated person’s condition, the proposed guardian’s qualifications, and other pertinent information. There are two types of Hawaii Petition For Appointment of A Guardian of An Incapacitated Person: Temporary and Permanent. A Temporary Petition is filed when a guardian is needed for a short period of time, whereas a Permanent Petition is filed when a guardian is needed for an extended period of time. In either case, the court must determine that the proposed guardian is a suitable person to be appointed and that the guardian will act in the best interests of the incapacitated person.
