A9:         As a legal relationship, guardians must follow the court rules that apply to guardianships.  Nominated guardians must disclose certain information to the Court before they can be appointed (See Q16).  After being appointed, guardians must abide by the court order that lists their specific duties.  Furthermore, the guardian must complete and file certain forms as specified in the court order (see Q17).  Once all the completed forms are filed with the Court, guardians will receive “Letters of Guardianship,” which they will use to secure appropriate financial access, gain guardianship training certification, and file for control of their ward’s real property (see Q18).

Guardians also have regular reporting and annual accounting requirements as addressed in A6. Requirements.
