Guardianship Of A Minor Packet

MINOR GUARDIANSHIP PACKET. This packet of forms is used to initiate and complete a minor guardianship case in the state of Oregon. A minor guardianship is a legal process through which a court grants someone other than a child’s biological parent both legal and physical custody of the child. When a guardian is appointed, the biological parents no longer have custody rights unless otherwise ordered by the court. The packet is intended for use by individuals—called proposed guardians or petitioners—who are seeking to be appointed as legal guardians for one or more minors. The forms can be used for multiple children as long as they are siblings or half-siblings. The packet includes instructions and all the standard forms needed to start and process a typical guardianship case. It outlines the three main parts of the process: filing the initial petition, serving notice to all legally interested parties, and completing the necessary follow-up documents, including proofs of service and a proposed court judgment. Petitioners must fill out and file the required forms, ensure that parents and other parties are properly notified, and submit proof of service to the court. The packet also explains who must be served, how service must be completed (either personally or by mail), and what to do if someone objects to the petition. If no objections are filed, the judge may grant the guardianship without a hearing. However, if anyone contests the petition, a court hearing will be scheduled. The packet provides detailed instructions for filling out each form and complying with the legal procedures required by Oregon law. www.FormsWorkflow.com
