Conservatorships and Guardianships
When is the appointment of a guardian of the person necessary?
A court will appoint a guardian for a person less than 18 years of age if there is no parent able and willing to make sure the minor’s needs for food, clothing, shelter, education and medical care are met. Often, the inability to care for the minor stems from a parent’s substance abuse problems or criminal activity.
