A Petition for Washington to Accept a Guardianship or Conservatorship from a Transferring State (PT) is a legal document that is used when someone wants to transfer a guardianship or conservatorship from one state to another. The petition must be filed in the receiving state, which in this case is Washington. This petition is used when an individual has been appointed a guardian or conservator in one state, but needs to have that authority officially recognized in the state of Washington. There are two types of Petition for Washington to Accept a Guardianship or Conservatorship from a Transferring State (PT): the Petition for Adult Guardianship and the Petition for Minor Guardianship. In the Petition for Adult Guardianship, the petitioner must provide information about themselves, the adult they are seeking guardianship for, and the transferring state. The Petition for Minor Guardianship requires similar information, but the petitioner must also provide additional information about the minor’s parents. Once the petition is filed, the court in Washington will review the petition and determine whether it meets the necessary criteria for the transfer of guardianship or conservatorship. The court may also appoint a guardian ad item to investigate the situation and provide a report to the court. After the court has reviewed the petition and all the necessary information, a decision will be made whether to grant the transfer of guardianship or conservatorship.
