Guardianships of the Person

Guardianships deal with caring for and taking responsibility for a minor.        

There are two types of California child guardianships. The first is a guardianship over the person, which may occur in two instances. One instance is when the parents of a minor elect to voluntarily allow a third person, usually a relative, to take the responsibility of raising their child. A second instance is when the parents are incapable of raising their child and a third party believes that it is in the child's best interest to be raised by him or herself.

The second type of California guardianship is guardianship over the estate of a minor. This usually occurs when a minor receives assets from a deceased person, either through a court procedure (probate) or is the beneficiary of a life insurance policy. If a minor receives property, that minor must have an adult placed in charge of his property.  Money allocated for a minor is usually accomplished by way of a blocked account, which would become available when the minor becomes an adult.
