What warrants the appointment of a temporary guardian?
This court generally requires the existence of a genuine emergency to create a temporary guardianship. The emergency usually will relate to the ward’s physical health or well-being, but may in some limited circumstances also involve mainly estate issues. The court’s reticence is based on the fact that a temporary guardianship requires a bond, inventory and final accounting, which significantly increases the fees and expenses of protecting the ward. If appropriate protection of the ward and the ward’s estate can be achieved by a less expensive means, the court would prefer it.
