What is expected of a person or agency after the initial referral?
The referring person is expected to completely fill out the Referral and Client Status form and to obtain a properly written report signed by a physician, certifying that guardianship is necessary. The information thus presented is necessary for an assessment of the case and for appropriate follow-up once OSG is appointed. OSG can provide counseling regarding the preparation of papers for the guardianship proceedings. OSG may petition for the appointment of a guardian only in those cases where specific funding is provided. OSG will accept appointment by the court, however, if guardianship is appropriate and there is no other person or organization willing and able to serve. When a guardianship petition is filed, OSG must receive at least 14 days notice and copies of all relevant documents. In the event of temporary guardianship appointments, OSG should be notified as early as possible. Delays in notification can result in delays in decision making once OSG is appointed. Lack of adequat
