A person may need a guardian if they have trouble making healthcare, lifestyle and medical decisions on their own because of a decision-making disability and there are decisions that need to be made and: they do not have family, friends or a carer to support them in their decision-making.
Generally, guardianship does not terminate the legal rights of parents. Parents and guardians may have different rights depending on the factors of the situation. A full guardian takes over all the legal responsibilities for the child and makes decisions on their behalf.
It will take at least a month, usually longer, for the court to make a decision on you becoming a guardian. If theres an emergency and you need to act as guardian right away, you can file additional papers when you file your petition to be appointed guardian, or afterward, asking to be appointed temporary guardian.
