What is the first step in attempting to gain guardianship over a minor child or an incapacitated adult?
In order to begin the guardianship process, the proposed Guardian, usually the parents of a minor child or family members of elderly persons, must file an application with the court stating their request for appointment. With this application, a letter from the proposed Ward’s doctor or psychiatrist must also be filed to verify that the proposed Ward is, in fact, incapacitated.
