FAQ
A guardian is also prohibited from making gifts from the ward's estate. Generally, a guardian cannot tie up the ward's money by purchasing real estate, but can lend the money to someone else buying real estate if the property is sufficient security for the loan.
Any adult interested in the minor child's welfare may file a petition in the district court in the county in Utah where the minor child resides or is present. The petitioner is usually the person who wants to be the guardian, but the petitioner may request the appointment of some other qualified adult.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
