FAQ
The main difference between custody and guardianship is the child's parents - custody is provided to the child's biological parents while guardianship is given to a non-biological parent.
Two lines beneath the guardian's address, you should insert the subject heading of the letter. For example, type RE: Temporary Guardianship of Minor Child, Elizabeth Bennett. Draft the body of the letter. The first paragraph of the body of the letter should name your children and state that you have custody of them.
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.
GUARDIAN: In the event I shall die as the sole parent of minor children, then I appoint ____________________________________ as Guardian of said minor children. If this named Guardian is unable or unwilling to serve, then I appoint ____________________________________ as alternate Guardian.
A guardianship case can be started by filing paperwork called "Petition for Appointment of Guardian" in the county where the child lives. This paper work can be filed in either Surrogate's Court or the Family Court. Both Surrogate's Court and Family Court can appoint a guardian of the person for a child.
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.
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.
