Understanding Guardianship Qualifications
Are you trying to get guardianship over a loved one and unsure of whether you qualify? Hi, my name is Aaron Grubb, and I’m the Tahlequah attorney at Wirth Law Office. In this video, we’re going to go over several factors that are important to a court when deciding who to appoint as a guardian.
First off, the court will have the ultimate choice of who to appoint as guardian, and they will consider several factors as to who would be the best guardian. These factors include whether that person is 18, whether they are free of criminal charges, any kind of protective orders, or criminal convictions.
Key Factors in Guardian Appointments
Additionally, the court will look at whether that person has declared bankruptcy in the last five years, or if there is a conflict of interest, such as a debtor trying to be a guardian over an incapacitated ward. These considerations are crucial because they help establish the suitability of the applicant for the guardianship role.
