Application for Appointment as Guardian-Conservator for Minor

The Kentucky Application for Appointment as Guardian-Conservator for Minor is a legal document used to petition a Kentucky court for the guardianship of a minor. The application is used when a minor is either in need of a guardian due to their age, or if their parent or legal guardian is unable to care for them. The application is available in two versions: one for the appointment of a guardian, and one for both guardianship and conservatorship. The guardian application requires information about the minor, such as their full name, date of birth, address, and any other relevant information. It also requires information about the guardian, including their name, address, and any relevant qualifications or experience in caring for a minor. The conservator application is similar, but also requires additional information about the minor's financial interests. This includes information about any assets, income sources, or liabilities the minor may have. The application also requires information about the conservator, such as their name, address, and qualifications related to managing a minor's financial interests. Once completed, the application must be signed by the applicant, the minor's parent or guardian (if applicable), and two witnesses. It must also be filed with the appropriate Kentucky court.
