FAQ
The legal guardianship document is a formal declaration to the court system that another party is responsible for the well-being of the minors. No one can predict when an accident or other disaster may occur. Some include a legal guardianship document in their wills to determine who will raise their children.
All applications for guardianship require an up-to-date assessment from either a psychologist or a psychiatrist licensed in the State of New Jersey, or from a licensed medical doctor. A guardian can be a family member, another interested person, or an agency such as the Bureau of Guardianship Services.
The names of the forms are usually: Petition for Appointment of Guardian (or Petition for Appointment of Guardian of Minor) Petition for Conservatorship (when dealing with an incompetent adult) Order Appointing Guardian.
A legal guardian is a person who has been appointed by a court or otherwise has the legal authority (and the corresponding duty) to care for the personal and property interests of another person, called a ward.A parent of a child is normally not considered a guardian, though the responsibilities may be similar.
You can establish guardianship of a child by filing papers in court. Initially, file a petition stating your interest in obtaining guardianship along with a filing fee. You'll also want to file a letter of consent from the child's parents.
A Guardian usually signs legal documents on behalf of the Ward, chooses an appropriate living situation for the Ward, and grants, withholds, and withdraws consent to medical treatment. In most situations, it is necessary to disclose the Guardian/Ward relationship.
Assuming they all agree and your father needs a guardian, you should be appointed fairly quickly. So, it could be anywhere from $1000 to $2000 depending on all of the factors. Maybe less than $1000 if it is a straightforward case. However, it is probably better if you get a lawyer to help you.
