Becoming a guardian is a serious responsibility, and Arizona has specific legal requirements for those looking to take on this important role. The Court considers several factors when determining whether a person should be appointed as a guardian over an incapacitated person, including the following:
📜 Must be at least 18 years old.
📜 Must be a legal resident of the United States.
📜 Should be in good health, both mentally and physically.
📜 Whether you have a criminal record, and whether that criminal record should disqualify you as a guardian.
Whether you have served as a guardian before.
Your relationship to the individual for whom you want to be a guardian.
If you would like to become the guardian over another individual, then having a knowledgeable attorney can help ensure you understand your rights, duties, and the best way to proceed.
