The Utah Petition to Appoint a Conservator for a Minor is a legal document that is used to ask the court to appoint a conservator of the estate of a minor (a person under the age of 18). There are two types of Utah Petition to Appoint a Conservator for a Minor: a Petition for Permanent Conservatorship and a Petition for Temporary Conservatorship. The Petition for Permanent Conservatorship is used to request that the court appoint a conservator for the minor’s assets, such as money, investments, and property. The Petition for Temporary Conservatorship is used to request that the court appoint a temporary conservator for the minor’s assets until a court order can be obtained for permanent conservatorship. The Petition for Permanent Conservatorship must be signed by the petitioner (the person who is requesting the conservatorship) and include the minor’s name, date of birth, and the reasons for the request. The Petition for Temporary Conservatorship must include the same information, as well as the reason the temporary conservatorship is needed. Both petitions must be filed with the court and notice must be given to all interested parties, such as the minor’s parents, guardians, or other legal representatives. The court will then review the petitions and make a decision on whether to appoint a conservator for the minor.
