Guardianship Documents
Professional Help With Guardianship Papers
You do not have to organize the paperwork alone. We prepare the documents you specifically request using your information and instructions.
LegalDoc-Prep helps organize the information you provide, prepare requested guardianship forms and supporting documents, and assist with the document-processing steps.
Our role is to make the paperwork more manageable while keeping you informed about the information needed to continue.

Guardianship of the Person Documents
A guardianship of the person may be requested when an adult who is not the child’s parent needs legal authority to care for a minor child.
LegalDoc-Prep can prepare requested guardianship of the person documents using the family, child, and case information provided by the client.
We do not decide whether a guardianship is the appropriate legal option or whether a person qualifies to serve as guardian.
Guardianship of the Estate Documents
A guardianship of the estate may involve the management of money, income, or property belonging to a minor child.
LegalDoc-Prep may prepare requested guardianship of the estate documents at the client’s direction. Because these cases involve financial responsibilities and fiduciary duties, anyone needing legal or financial guidance should consult a qualified attorney or financial professional.
Temporary Guardianship Documents
In some circumstances, a client may request temporary guardianship documents while a general guardianship case is pending.
LegalDoc-Prep can prepare requested temporary guardianship forms and supporting paperwork using the information supplied by the client.
We cannot determine whether a situation legally supports a temporary appointment or guarantee that the court will grant the request.
