The Alpha Arizona Guardianship Kit
By Kermit Burton, Alpha Publications
Venue:
Arizona
Description:
This Alpha Arizona Guardianship Kit includes all of the forms
required to bring an action in the Arizona Superior Court for
the appointment of a single guardian or two joint guardians
of one or more minor children.
The appointment of a guardian under the procedures provided
in this kit is a permanent appointment of the guardian to the
extent that it will take a Court action to terminate the guardianship
once it becomes final.
There is however, another procedure available under Arizona
Laws (A.R.S. Section 14-5104) that allow for a temporary appointment
of a guardian for a period of up to six months.
The form for this temporary guardianship is called a 'Special
Power of Attorney Over Minor Child,' which is available either
from the publisher of this kit, the dealer where this kit was
purchased, or at most Bookstores, Copy Services, Mailing Services,
Office Supply and Stationery Stores.
The authorities granted under the Special Power of Attorney
Over Minor Child are restrictive to the extent that in addition
to being effective for only 6 months, it does not confer authority
to consent to the marriage of the minor child, nor can it be
used to establish the child's residence for admission to a local
school.
The restrictions outlined immediately above do not apply
to guardianships granted under the procedures provided in this
kit, since the power and authority conferred under this type
of guardianship is, in most respects, identical to the power
and authority enjoyed by the natural or adoptive parent, except
the obligation to financially support the child.
In other words, the natural parent remains obligated for
the financial support of the minor child, notwithstanding the
appointment of another person to be the minor child's guardian.
The exception to this obligation by the natural parent occurs
when the minor child is adjudicated to be a ward of the State
of Arizona.
Before you commence the preparation of the forms included
in this kit, be sure and read all of the Chapters that follow
this Introduction as it is important that you understand what
is required to successfully accomplish the guardianship action.
To further assist your correct preparation of the forms,
there are fully completed examples of each of the Forms included
in this Kit starting on Page 17, the Blue Pages. (See the Index
on Page 18).
