Guardianship of an Adult
The process for court appointment of a guardian is outlined in Arizona Revised Statutes 14-5303 and as follows:- A Petition for the Appointment of Adult Guardian is filed
- A Petition for the Appointment of Attorney, Physician and Investigator is filed
- The proposed ward is served by personal service and all interested parties are served notice of the hearing
- A hearing is scheduled and the Petitioner and anyone provided notice may attend
- The court will hear all parties, determine whether to appoint the petitioner and then ultimately appoint a Guardian for the incapacitated adult

Guardianship of a Minor
When determining whether to represent yourself in a minor guardianship action, you must first determine whether your case will be contested or uncontested by the child's biological parents if they are alive. The most common type of minor guardianship occurs usually by a child's grandparents when the child's biological parents are unable to carry out their parental responsibilities. We prepare Minor Guardianship documents for self represented persons so long as at least one of the parents will consent to the guardianship. If both parents object to the guardianship then you will need to proceed with an attorney. The process for minor guardianship is straight forward:- Prepare and file a Petition for Minor Guardianship
- Obtain a hearing date
- Serve the parents or obtain parental consents
- File the minor's consent if over the age of 14
