How does a lead agency start the nomination process for public guardianship?
The lead agency may send a letter or e-mail to the DHS Public Guardianship Office. The letter should state the persons name, date of birth, current location and ask the state to nominate the Commissioner of Human Services to be the guardian of the person. The Public Guardianship Office will send the lead agency a request to conduct a comprehensive evaluation. Before nominating the Commissioner, the lead agency should make sure no other person is willing and able to serve.
