You Are Caring for a Child. Let Us Help With the Court Paperwork.

Guardianship document preparation in California can involve numerous probate court forms, family information, notices, supporting declarations, and filing requirements.

When a child needs stability and care, struggling with complicated paperwork can add even more stress to an already difficult family situation.

When a parent cannot care for a child, a grandparent, aunt, uncle or family friend often steps in, and the court paperwork that follows needs to be right. LegalDoc-Prep prepares the guardianship documents you request, at your direction, so you can stay focused on the child.

Professional Help With Guardianship Documents

Guardianship cases involve information about the child, the parents and the proposed guardian, and it all has to be consistent from one document to the next. We take care of that detail work and deliver your documents organized and ready to sign.

LegalDoc-Prep helps organize the information you provide, prepare requested guardianship forms and supporting documents, and assist with the document-processing steps.

Caring for a child in a family emergency is hard enough. Our job is to make the paperwork the easy part.

What LegalDoc-Prep Does Not Do

LegalDoc-Prep is a registered and bonded Legal Document Assistant, not a law firm. We prepare guardianship documents at your direction and do not provide legal advice, legal representation or court appearances.

• We do not decide whether a guardianship is the appropriate legal option or whether a person qualifies to serve as guardian.
• We cannot determine whether a situation legally supports a temporary appointment.
• We cannot guarantee any result. The judge decides whether a guardianship is appropriate and whether a proposed guardian will be appointed.
• Guardianship of the estate involves financial responsibilities and fiduciary duties. Anyone needing legal or financial guidance should consult a qualified attorney or financial professional.

If the Guardianship Is Contested or Legally Complicated

LegalDoc-Prep provides document preparation at the client’s direction. We cannot resolve disagreements between family members, determine parental rights, or provide a legal strategy.

A client should consult a licensed California attorney if:

• A parent or family member objects
• Another court case involves the child
• The child is involved with Child Protective Services
• Immigration or special juvenile status is involved
• There are safety concerns or disputed allegations
• The client needs advice about legal rights
