Court Procedures

Temporary Guardians

Previously, it was necessary to provide only three days of notice to the incapacitated person and their heirs-at-law. Under the new rules anyone seeking temporary appointment of a guardian or conservator must provide seven days of notice. As always, in a true emergency, the judge has discretion to waive the notice requirements and appoint a guardian or conservator immediately.
