An investigator is appointed by the court to evaluate the ward and the fitness of the guardian before issuing a recommendation to the court. The court then convenes a hearing and rules on the guardianship petition.
Anyone who disagrees with a guardianship can file an objection with the court.
In the case of guardianship of a minor, extended family members or estranged biological parents may try to contest the guardianship. In such cases, it is usually necessary to hire an experienced attorney who will protect your rights.
