This nuts and bolts class will give participants the tools they need to handle simple uncontested guardianship of minor cases from the filing of the petition through the establishment of a permanent guardianship. Our clients are often grandparents and other relatives of children whose parents are unavailable to care for them. The training will cover how to complete the petition and accompanying pleadings, waive fees and costs, obtain assents from the ward's parents, and how to handle issues of service and the bond. Participants will receive VLP's manual on handling Guardianship of Minor cases. Sign Up Online Now.
