A plenary guardian is a long-term, permanent guardian. Once someone is appointed a plenary guardian, they cannot give up the responsibility, unless a judge rules that: A parent can care for the child again, or. Someone else is willing to become the guardian.
A short-term guardian is responsible for the child for one year or less. The parent or guardian picks the short-term guardian. The parent or guardian does not need to go to court, but the agreement must be in writing. The agreement must be signed and witnessed by at least 2 people who are at least 18 years old.
A short-term guardianship is a private agreement that does not require a judges approval. It might be an option if: You only need a guardianship for a minor child for 6 months or less; AND. The parents will sign and notarize a short-term guardianship agreement.
Once the case is filed, it usually takes from 14 days to two months for a decision to be reached by the court. The fact that a temporary guardian may have been appointed does not determine whether a permanent guardian will be appointed.
Two basic types of guardianship are person guardianship and estate guardianship. A guardian of the person is appointed by the court when a disabled individual cannot make or communicate responsible decisions regarding his personal care.
