A Vermont Petition To Appoint Guardian For An Adult (Involuntary) is a legal document filed by a petitioner in order to appoint a guardian for an adult who is unable to make decisions or care for themselves due to mental or physical disabilities. The petition must include the following information: the name of the proposed guardian, the name of the proposed ward, evidence of the ward’s incapacity, and a list of facts that support the petition. The petition must also be signed by the petitioner and two witnesses. If approved, the court will appoint a guardian for the ward and issue protective orders and incapacity orders as necessary. There are two types of Vermont Petition To Appoint Guardian For An Adult (Involuntary): voluntary petitions and involuntary petitions. Voluntary petitions are filed by the ward or their family, and the court will make a determination whether the ward is in need of a guardian. Involuntary petitions are filed by someone else, such as a doctor or social services' agency, and the court will appoint a guardian based on the evidence provided.
