There are three types of guardianships: Guardianship of an adult person, guardianship of an adult persons property and guardianship of the property of a minor child who is under eighteen. Please use the resources below and on the forms page to learn more about Guardianship in the Court of Chancery.
Standby guardianships differ from traditional guardianships in that standby guardianships allow the parent to retain much of his or her authority over the child.
Included in most Permanent Guardianship Orders is an Order for Custody. Therefore, assuming Custody is also granted, a Permanent Guardian may exercise the same powers, rights and duties respecting the care maintenance and treatment of the child as a parent would.
A custodial parent who has been diagnosed as having a terminal condition, as confirmed by a licensed physician, may nominate a standby guardian. A nomination of a guardian may be made: In the petition for the appointment of the guardian or at the hearing on the petition.
Temporary guardianship can be established without court involvement through written agreements or power of attorney, allowing for quick arrangements in emergencies. Obtaining clear parental consent and notarizing agreements are essential steps to ensure the legal validity of temporary guardianship arrangements.

So, the difference between the guardian and the standby guardian is basically that one is effective after youve passed away and the other one is effective if something happens to you, but youre still alive. Both of these are very important for making sure that your children are taken care of.
This person can authorize medical care, talk to the school, pick your children up from daycare or the school, and other things they wouldnt be able to do without a court order. The Standby Guardian gives another adult authority to do the things that you do as a parent without involving child services.
In most counties, youll need to pay a filing fee of $225 to the clerk when you file your forms for a guardianship of the person. For a guardianship of the estate or of the person and the estate, the fee is $435. In a few counties, the fee is $35-$50 more.
