In an emergency or life-threatening situation, a temporary guardian may be appointed more quickly and without the normal notice and hearing procedures. A temporary guardianship expires after 15 days. However, if the ward or other interested person objects to appointment of a temporary guardian, a hearing must be held within 48 hours of request, and the ward has the right to a lawyer.
