Guardianship court is a type of probate court, which hears claims of those that are disabled adults and minor child. A guardianship court hears issues such as whether an adult person is disabled and uncapable of managing their financial and health care affairs.
Generally, a Petition for Guardianship is required. There are two (2) types of Guardianship. Temporary guardianship and plenary guardianship. Temporary guardianship is typically a guardianship that is temporary in nature and for around 30 days. Plenary guardianship is permanent guardianship where a guardian is appointed to make healthcare and financial decisions for the disabled adult.
With a Petition for Guardianship, a doctor's report is required, which answers questions such as whether the alleged disabled adult is partially able or unable to make any financial and healthcare decisions for themselves. This doctor's report is critical because the guardianship court only has jurisdiction over persons that are incapable of managing their own decisions.
