How long does it take to get a guardian or conservator appointed by the Court?
In normal circumstances it takes approximately 45 days from the time a completed petition is filed in the Probate Division to the time a hearing is held by the court. If after reviewing the petition the court finds that a guardian and/or conservator should be appointed, letters of appointment will be issued in approximately three days. Letters of conservatorship may issue within 24 hours of the filing of a bond.
