Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Can I refuse guardianship?

No, being nominated does not obligate you to serve. When the time comes, you can decide whether to accept this responsibility or not. If you choose to decline, another alternate guardian named in the will can take over, and if no alternate is available, the probate court will appoint someone else to serve.

How to reverse guardianship in California?

A guardian can resign by asking the judge to end the guardianship or let them resign and appoint someone else as guardian. But first, there must be a court hearing. And you must give notice of the hearing to all relatives who were notified of your appointment as guardian.

What is GC 250?

Letters are the name of the form used to prove to financial institutions and others that a guardian has been appointed by the court and can take actions on behalf of the ward or conservatee.

How much power does a guardian have?

The guardian can be authorized to make legal, financial, and health care decisions for the ward. Depending on the terms of the guardianship, the guardian may or may not have to seek court approval for various decisions.
