Does Kentucky issue letters of guardianship?

Compensation payable to guardians or conservators shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the income of the ward during any year, but in no event shall the amount of such compensation be less than fifty dollars ($50) for each year.

How long does it take to petition for guardianship?

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.

What are the downsides of guardianship?

If the court concludes that guardianship is warranted, an order specifies whether it is limited or full, the guardians granted powers, limits to authority, and reporting requirements. The court then issues Letters of Guardianship, which grant the guardian legal authority to act on the wards behalf.
