Petition For Appointment Of Standby Guardian For Minor {E-209}

AOC-E-209 - PETITION FOR APPOINTMENT OF STANDBY GUARDIAN FOR MINOR. This form is used by a parent or guardian to request the court to appoint a standby guardian for a minor child. It is typically filed when the petitioner, who may be the biological or adoptive parent or an existing guardian, is suffering from a progressively chronic or irreversibly fatal illness and wishes to ensure that a responsible individual is legally designated to care for the child in the event of the petitioner’s death, incapacity, or debilitation. The form allows the petitioner to nominate both a standby guardian and an alternate, and provides space to list their addresses and county of residence. It also includes a section for detailing the child’s assets and liabilities, if applicable, and requires disclosure of any related court proceedings involving the minor. Additionally, the form includes verification under oath by the petitioner and optional waivers of notice and consents from other parties, such as the child’s other parent.
