For more information, visit the California Courts Online Self-Help Center or talk to your court’s sel/-help center. @) What is a guardian of the estate? A guardian of the estate is a person appointed by the probate court to take control of a child’s money or other property, manage that property, and preserve it for the child until the child reaches the age of 18 and can take control of the property for themselves. The court takes appointment of a guardian of the estate very seriously, and the law requires the guardian to collect and make an inventory and appraisal of the property, keep accurate financial records, and file regular financial accountings with the court. Consulting an attorney for legal advice in managing the estate is highly recommended. @) Are there alternatives to guardianship? Yes. The law allows a parent or any other person from whom the child receives property to make financial arrangements for the child’s property. For example, money received by a child may be deposited in an account accessible only im specified measures can be used without the appointment of a guardian of the estate. These financial arrangements can be complicated; consulting with an attomey before choosing one over another is highly encouraged. Note: Some financial institutions, insurance companies, and courts require the appointment of a guardian of the estate before they will release funds to a person acting on behalf of a minor child. Who can be appointed as guardian? To become the court-appointed guardian of a child’s estate, you must: e Be an adult (18 years old or older); and © Show the court that your appointment would be in the best interest of the child, considering both: o Your ability to manage and preserve the child’s estate (money and property); and o Your concern for and interest in the welfare circumstances or by court order until the child of the child. reaches 18 years of age.

ejerysziisn iam Information on Probate Guardianship of the Estate Can a parent or other person name a person they want to be appointed as guardian? Yes. A parent can nominate a guardian of the estate if: © The other parent(s) nominate or consent in writing to the nomination of the same guardian for the same child; or e At the time the petition for appointment is filed, either the other parent(s) are dead or lack legal capacity to consent, or the consent of the other parent(s) would not be required for adoption of the child. In addition, any person from whom, or by designation of whom, a minor child receives property may nominate a guardian of that property. The nomination must be made in the petition for appointment of the guardian, at the hearing on the petition, or in a writing signed either before or after the petition is filed. A nomination is valid when made, except that a written nomination may specify that it is to take effect only if one or more events, such as the incapacity, detention, or death of the person making the nomination, occur. Unless a written nomination provides expressly otherwise, a nomination remains effective even if the person making the nomination dies or becomes legally incapacitated. (5) Who can file a petition for appointment of a guardian of the estate? A relative or other person, or the child if 12 years of age or older, may file a petition for appointment of a guardian in probate court using Petition for Appointment of Guardian of Minor (form GC-210) in probate court. THE APPOINTMENT PROCESS (6) Filing the petition Once a person has decided that a child needs a guardian, the first step in the process is to complete Petition for Appointment of Guardian of Minor (form GC-210) and all other required documents. Then, file the forms with the clerk of the court in the county where the child lives unless it would be better for the child to file in a different county. Some courts have additional local forms that need to be filed along with the statewide forms. The petition needs to ask the court to appoint a guardian of the estate or a guardian of both the person and the estate; give the proposed guardian’s name and address and the child’s name and date of birth; and state that the appointment is necessary or convenient. The petition must also give the names and addresses of the child’s parents and other persons who have specific relationships with the child. If the child is an Indian child, the petition must state that fact and give the name and address of any Indian custodian and the child’s tribe. The petition must also tell the court whether there are any adoption, child custody, juvenile court, family law, or other guardianship proceedings affecting the child in progress in Califomia or any other state or country. The court charges a fee for filing a guardianship petition. If the child or the child’s estate cannot afford to pay the fees, the petitioner may request that the court waive the fee requirement. The court clerk can provide the required fee waiver forms. @) Notice of the hearing Before the court can hold a hearing to decide the petition, the person who filed the petition must give notice of the hearing to specific persons unless the court finds that the petitioner tried diligently and couldn’t give notice to a person or that notice would be against the interests of justice. The notice must include a copy of the petition and a copy of Comparison of Guardians With Other Nonparent Caregivers (form GC-207-INFO/JV-352-INFO). Notice must be given to the child if 12 years old or older, the parents, anyone else with legal custody, and anyone nominated to be the guardian by serving them personally or, if that’s not possible, by first-class mail with an acknowledgment of receipt requested. For more information about service of notice, see What Is “Proof of Service” in a Guardianship? (form GC-510). Other persons may be given notice personally, by mail, or, if they consent, electronically. If the child is an Indian child, notice must be mailed to any Indian custodian and the child’s tribe as required by the Indian Child Welfare Act.

icjemy2ieisi gem Information on Probate Guardianship of the Estate Investigation Unless it finds a good reason not to, the court will order an investigation before the hearing on the petition to appoint a guardian. The court investigator will contact the proposed guardian, the child, and any other persons who might know about the child’s family and their needs. The investigator will give a report to the court and make a recommendation on what decision the court should make. The court or county charges a fee for conducting the guardianship investigation. The court can waive its fee if it would cause a hardship to the child or the child’s estate. The county can also waive its fee because of hardship. If someone objects to the appointment of a guardian or to the petitioner’s appointment as guardian at or before the hearing, the court may decide it needs to hold a trial. Based on its determination of the child’s best interest, the court may grant the petition, may grant another person’s petition, or may find that the child doesn’t need a guardianship and deny all the petitions. If the probate court thinks the child has been, or is at risk of being, abused or neglected by a parent, the court may refer the child to the county child welfare agency for an investigation and commencement of juvenile court proceedings. If the probate court makes a referral, the guardianship proceedings are paused, but the probate court can make any order necessary to protect the child, including an order appointing a temporary guardian or issuing a temporary restraining order. If, after three weeks, the agency has not notified the probate court that it has filed a petition to begin proceedings in juvenile court, the probate court or the child’s attorney, if the probate court has appointed one, may file a request with the juvenile court to review the agency’s decision not to begin juvenile court proceedings and to order the agency to file a petition to begin those proceedings. If the juvenile court begins proceedings, the guardianship proceedings must remain paused. If the juvenile court does not begin proceedings, the probate court can hold a hearing and decide whether to appoint a guardian. @) Hearing and standard for appointment An interested person may appear and object or respond to the petition in writing at or before the hearing. In addition, an interested person may appear and object or respond orally at the hearing. If no one objects, the court may decide the matter on the verified petition and declarations. If a person objects, then the court will consider evidence, determine any issues, and make appropriate orders. Based on its determination of the child’s best interest, the court may grant the petition, may grant another person’s petition, or may find that the child doesn’t need a guardianship and deny all the petitions. The probate court may appoint a guardian for a child when the appointment is necessary or convenient. The petitioner must prove to the court that a guardianship is needed. The court must appoint the person nominated as guardian of the estate unless the court determines that the nominee is not suitable. Subject to the preference for a nominee, the court will consider the best interest of the child, taking into account the proposed guardian’s ability te manage and preserve the estate property and their concern for and interest in the welfare of the child. If the child is old enough to form an intelligent preference about whom should be appointed, the court must also consider that preference. Oath, letters, and bond For an appointment as guardian to be valid, the court must sign the Order Appointing Guardian or Extending Guardianship of the Person (form GC- 240). The guardian then needs to complete Letters of Guardianship (form GC-250) and take both forms to the clerk’s office. After the guardian affirms that they will perform their duties according to law and posts the court-ordered bond, the clerk will issue Letters of Guardianship as proof of appointment as guardian of the child’s estate. The clerk will keep the original Letters in the case file. The guardian should buy a certified copy from the clerk, make copies of it for use, and keep the certified copy in a safe place. Showing the Letters to banks and other financial institutions will help the guardian perform duties, such as opening accounts or making investments, by verifying the legal authority to act on the child’s behalf.

efemyiilnisigem Information on Probate Guardianship of the Estate MANAGING THE ESTATE—POWERS AND DUTIES

1. Prudent investments As guardian of the estate, you must manage the child’s money and property with the care of a prudent person dealing with someone else’s property. This means that you must be cautious and may not make speculative or risky investments. Separation of estate money and property As guardian of the estate, you must keep the money and property of the child’s estate separate from everyone else’s, including your own. When you open. a bank account for the estate, the account name must indicate that it is a guardianship account and not your personal account. You should use the child’s Social Security number when opening estate accounts. You should never deposit estate funds in your personal account or otherwise mix them with your own funds or anyone else’s funds, even for brief periods. Securities in the estate must be held in a name that shows that they are estate property and not your personal property. Interest-bearing accounts and other investments Except for checking accounts intended for ordinary expenses, you should place estate funds in interest- bearing accounts. You may deposit estate funds in insured accounts in federally insured financial institutions, but you should not put more than $250,000 in any single institution. You should consult with an attorney before making other kinds of investments. Blocked accounts A blocked account is a type of account with a financial institution in which money or securities are placed. No person may withdraw funds from a blocked account without the court’s permission. Depending on the amount and character of the child’s property, the guardian may choose or the court may require that estate money or other assets be placed in a blocked account. As guardian of the estate, you must follow the directions of the court and the procedures required to deposit funds in this type of account. The use of a blocked account is a safeguard and may save the estate the cost of a bond. Other restrictions Other restrictions on your authority to deal with estate assets exist. Without a prior court order, you may not | pay fees to yourself or your attorney. You may not | make a gift of estate assets to anyone. You may not borrow money from the estate. You may not use estate funds to purchase real property without prior court order. If you spend estate funds without court permission, the court may compel you to reimburse the estate from your own funds and remove you as guardian. You should consult with an attomey concerning the legal requirements relating to sales, leases, mortgages, and investment of estate property. If the child whose estate you are managing has a living parent, or if that child receives assets or is entitled to support from another source, you must obtain court approval before using guardianship assets for the child’s support, maintenance, or education. You must file a petition or request approval in the original petition and set forth exceptional circumstances that justify any use of guardianship assets for the child’s support. The court ordinarily will grant such a petition for only a limited period of time, usually not more than one year, and only for specific and limited purposes. Inventory and appraisal of estate property You must locate, take possession of, and protect the child’s income and property that will be part of the estate. You must change the ownership of all assets into the guardianship estate’s name. For real estate, you should record a copy of your Letters of Guardianship with the county recorder in each county where the child owns real property. Next, you must arrange to have a designated probate referee determine the value of the estate property unless this requirement is waived by the court. You, not the referee, must determine the value of certain “cash items.” An attomey can advise you on this. After you have gathered all the child’s money and property and determined how much it is worth, you must complete and file an Inventory and Appraisal with the court within 90 days of appointment using forms GC-040 and GC-041. The court may order you to return 90 days after your appointment to ensure that you properly file the inventory and appraisal.

lejemiiS i igem Information on Probate Guardianship of the Estate insurance You should make sure that the property of the estate and any risks to it are protected by appropriate and sufficient insurance. You should maintain the insurance coverage throughout the entire period of the guardianship or until the insured property is sold. (48)Records and accounts You must keep complete, accurate records of each financial transaction affecting the estate. The checkbook for the guardianship checking account is an indispensable tool for keeping records of income and expenditures. You should also keep receipts for all purchases. Record keeping is critical because you will have to prepare periodic accountings of all money and property you have received, what you have spent, the date of each transaction, and its purpose. You will also have to describe in detail the money and property remaining after you have paid the estate’s expenses. Beginning one year after initial appointment as guardian of the estate and then at least every two years after that, you must file an accounting for the previous period with a petition asking the court to review and approve the accounting. The court may ask that you explain or justify some or all expenses charged to the estate. You should have receipts, account statements, and other related documents available for inspection in case the court requests them. If you do not file your accounting as required, the court will order you to do so. You may be removed as guardian if you don’t file an accounting. If you know you are going to need extra time to prepare and file an accounting, be sure to ask the court for an extension ahead of the deadline. You must comply with all state and local rules when filing your accounting. The Probate Code requires that all accounts be submitted on Judicial Council forms. There is a set of forms for standard accounts; the numbers of ail these forms start with GC-400. There is also a set of forms for simplified accounts; the numbers of these forms start with GC-405. California Rules of Court, rule 7.575 explains the accounting process and the forms. You should also check local mules for any special local requirements. An attorney can advise you and help you prepare the inventory, accountings, and petitions. If you have any questions, you should consult with an attorney. FURTHER COURT PROCEEDINGS Court oversight The guardian is subject to the reguiation and contro! of the court in performing their duties. In addition to reviewing periodic accountings, the court may order you to enter into specific transactions or prohibit transactions for the benefit of the child. The guardian, the child, or any interested person can ask the court for such an order. After notice and a hearing, the court will make orders in the best interest of the child. Removal and replacement of guardian Affer notice and a hearing on a petition filed by the child, a relative or friend of the child, or any other interested person, the probate court may remove a guardian for specific reasons or when it is in the child’s best interest. The court may also suspend the powers of the guardian until it can hold a hearing on the petition for removal. A guardian may also file a petition to resign, and the court must allow the resignation if it appears proper. If for any reason there is a vacancy, the court may appoint a successor guardian after notice and a hearing as in the case of the original appointment. Termination of guardianship A guardianship of the estate terminates when the child reaches age 18 or if the child dies before age 18, subject to the duty to keep and preserve the estate until it is delivered to the child’s personal representative and to settle the estate’s accounts. The court may also terminate the guardianship if it decides that is in the child’s best interest. At termination, the guardian must distribute the estate property and file a fina] account and petition for discharge with the court.

An attorney is best qualified to advise you about these matters. You should clearly understand the information on this form. You will find additional information in the Guardianship Pamphlet (for Guardianships of Children in the Probate Court) (Form GC-205), which is available from the court.

1. GUARDIANSHIP OF THE PERSON if the probate court appoints you as a guardian of the person for a child, you will be required to assume important duties and obligations. a. Fundamental responsibilities - The guardian of the person of a child has the care, custody, and control of the child. As guardian, you are responsible for providing for food, clothing, shelter, education, and all the medical and dental needs of the child. You must provide for the safety, protection, and physical and emotional growth of the child. b. Custody - As guardian of the person of the child, you have full legal and physical custody of the child and are responsible for all decisions relating to the child. The child's parents can no longer make decisions for the child while there is a guardianship. The parents’ rights are suspended—not terminated—as long as a guardian is appointed for a minor. c. Education - As guardian of the person of the child, you are responsible for the child's education. You determine where the child should attend school. As the child's advocate within the school system, you should attend conferences and play an active role in the child’s education. For younger children, you may want to consider enrolling the child in Head Start or other similar programs. For older children, you should consider their future educational needs such as college or a specialized school. You must assist the child in obtaining services if the child has special educational needs. You should help the child in setting and attaining his or her educational goals. d. Residence - As guardian, you have the right to determine where the child lives. The child will normally live with you, but when it is necessary, you are allowed to make other arrangements if it is in the best interest of the child. You should obtain court approval before placing the child back with his or her parents. As guardian, you do not have the right to change the child's residence to a place outside of California unless you first receive the court's permission. If the court grants permission, California law requires that you establish legal guardianship in the state where the child will be living. individual states have different rules regarding guardianships. You should seek additional information about guardianships in the state where you want the child to live. : (Continued on reverse) Form Adapted for Mandatory Use DUTIES OF GUARDIAN Page one of five Judicial Council of Califomia GC-248 [New January 1, 2001] (Probate)

GC-248 GUARDIAN OF (Name): CASE NUMBER: MINOR Medicai treatment - As guardian, you are responsible for meeting the medical needs of the child. In most cases, you have the authority to consent to the child's medical treatment. However, if the child is 14 years or older, surgery may not be performed on the child unless either (1) both the child and the guardian consent or (2) a court order is obtained that specifically authorizes the surgery. This holds true except in emergencies. A guardian may not place a child involuntarily in a mental health treatment facility under a probate guardianship. A mental health conservatorship proceeding is required for such an involuntary commitment. However, the guardian may secure counseling and other necessary mental health services for the child. The law also allows older and more mature children to consent to their own treatment in certain situations such as outpatient mental health treatment, medical care related to pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases, and drug and alcohol treatment. Community resources - There are agencies in each county that may be helpful in meeting the specific needs of children who come from conflicted, troubled, or deprived environments. If the child has special needs, you must strive to meet those needs or secure appropriate services. Financial support - Even when the child has a guardian, the parents are still obligated to financially support the child. The guardian may take action to obtain child support. The child may also be eligible for Temporary Aid for Needy Families, TANF (formerly known as AFDC), social security benefits, Veterans Administration benefits, Indian child welfare benefits, and other public or private funds. Visitation - The court may require that you allow visitation or contact between the child and his or her parents. The child's needs often require that the parent-child relationship be maintained, within reason. However, the court may place restrictions on the visits, such as the requirement of supervision. The court may also impose other conditions in the child's best interest. Driver's license - As guardian of the person, you have the authority to consent to the minor's application for a drivers license. !f you consent, you will become liable for any civil damages that may result if the minor causes an accident. The law requires that anyone signing the DMV application obtain insurance to cover the minor. Enlistment in the armed services - The guardian may consent to a minor's enlistment in the armed services. If the minor enters into active duty with the armed forces, the minor becomes emancipated under Califomia law. Marriage - For the minor to marry, the guardian and the court must give permission. If the minor enters a valid marriage, the minor becomes emancipated under California law. Change of address - A guardian must notify the court in writing of any change in the address of either the child or the guardian. This includes any changes that result from the child's leaving the guardian's home or returning to the parent's home. You must always obtain court permission before you move the child to another state or country.

GC-248 GUARDIAN OF (Name): CASE NUMBER: MINOR p. Termination of guardianship of the person - A guardianship of the person automatically ends when the child reaches the age of 18, is adopted, marries, is emancipated by court order, enters into active military duty, or dies. If none of these events has occurred, the child, a parent, or the guardian may petition the court for termination of guardianship. But it must be shown that the guardianship is no longer necessary or that termination of the guardianship is in the child's best interest. 2. GUARDIANSHIP OF THE ESTATE If the court appoints you as guardian of the child's estate, you will have additional duties and obligations. The money and other assets of the child are called the child's “estate.” Appointment as guardian of a child's estate is taken very seriously by the court. The guardian of the estate is required to manage the child's funds, collect and make an inventory of the assets, keep accurate financial records, and regularly file financial accountings with the court. MANAGING THE ESTATE a. Prudent investments - As guardian of the estate, you must manage the child's assets with the care of a prudent person dealing with someone else's property. This means that you must be cautious and may not make speculative or risky investments. b. Keeping estate assets separate - As guardian of the estate, you must keep the money and property of the child's estate separate from everyone else's, including your own. When you open a bank account for the estate, the account name must indicate that it is a guardianship account and not your personal account. You should use the child's social security number when opening estate accounts. You should never deposit estate funds in your personal account or otherwise mix them with your own funds or anyone else's funds, even for brief periods. Securities in the estate must be held in a name that shows that they are estate property and not your personal property. c. Interest-bearing accounts and other investments - Except for checking accounts intended for ordinary expenses, you should place estate funds in interest-bearing accounts. You may deposit estate funds in insured accounts in federally insured financial institutions, but you should not put more than $100,000 in any single institution. You should consult with an attorney before making other kinds of investments. d. Blocked accounts - A blocked account is an account with a financial institution in which money is placed. No person may withdraw funds from a blocked account without the court's permission. Depending on the amount and character of the child's property, the guardian may elect or the court may require that estate assets be placed in a blocked account. As guardian of the estate, you must follow the directions of the court and the procedures required to deposit funds in this type of account. The use of a blocked account is a safeguard and may save the estate the cost of a bond. @. Other restrictions - As guardian of the estate, you will have many other restrictions on your authority to deal with estate assets. Without prior court order, you may not pay fees to yourself or your attomey. You may not make a gift of estate assets to anyone. You may not borrow money from the estate. As guardian, you may not use estate funds to purchase real property without a prior court order. if you do not obtain the court's permission to spend estate funds, you may be compelied to reimburse the estate from your own personal funds and may be removed as guardian. You should consult with an attorney concerning the legal requirements relating to sales, leases, mortgages, and investment of estate property. If the child of whose estate you are the guardian has a living parent or if that child receives assets or is entitled to support from another source, you must obtain court approval before using guardianship assets for the child's support, maintenance, or education. You must file a petition or include a request for approval in the original petition, and set forth which exceptional circumstances justify any use of guardianship assets for the child's support. The court will ordinarily grant such a petition for only a limited period of time, usually not to exceed one year, and only for specific and limited purposes. INVENTORY OF ESTATE PROPERTY f. Locate the estate's property - As guardian of the estate, you must locate, take possession of, and protect the child's income and assets that will be administered in the estate. You must change the ownership of all assets into the guardianship estate's name. For real estate, you should record a copy of your Letters of Guardianship with the county recorder in each county where the child owns real property. {Continued on reverse) GC-248 [New January 1, 2001 } DUTIES OF GUARDIAN Page three of five (Probate)

GC-248 GUARDIAN OF (Name): CASE NUMBER: MINOR Determine the value of the property - As guardian of the estate, you must arrange to have a court-appointed referee determine the value of the estate property unless the appointment is waived by the court. You—not the referee—must determine the value of certain “cash items.” An attorney can advise you about how to do this. File an inventory and appraisal - As guardian of the estate, you must file an inventory and appraisal within 90 days after your appointment. You may be required to return to court 90 days after your appointment as guardian of the estate to ensure that you have properly filed the inventory and appraisal. INSURANCE Insurance coverage - As guardian of the estate, you should make sure that there is appropriate and sufficient insurance covering the assets and risks of the estate. You should maintain the insurance in force throughout the entire period of the guardianship or until the insured asset is sold. ‘ RECORD KEEPING AND ACCOUNTING Records - As guardian of the estate, you must keep complete, accurate records of each financial transaction affecting the estate. The checkbook for the guardianship checking account is essential for keeping records of income and expenditures. You should also keep receipts for all purchases. Record keeping is critical because you will have to prepare an accounting of all money and property that you have received, what you have spent, the date of each transaction, and its purpose. You will also have to be able to describe in detail what is left after you have paid the estate's expenses. Accountings - As guardian of the estate, you must file a petition requesting that the court review and approve your accounting one year after your appointment and at least every two years after that. The court may ask that you justify some or all expenditures. You should have receipts and other documents available for the court's review, if requested. If you do not file your accounting as required, the court will order you to do so. You may be removed as guardian for failure to file an accounting. Format - As guardian of the estate, you must comply with ail state and local rules when filing your accounting. A particular format is specified in the Probate Code, which you must follow when you present your account to the court. You should check local rules for any special local requirements. Legal advice - An attorney can advise you and help you prepare your inventories, accountings, and petitions to the court. If you have questions, you should consult with an attomey. 3. OTHER GENERAL INFORMATION Removal of a guardian - A guardian may be removed for specific reasons or when it is in the child's best interest. A guardian may be removed either on the court's own motion or by a petition filed by the child, a relative of the child, or any other interested person. If necessary, the court may appoint a successor guardian, or the court may retum the child to a parent if that is found to be in the child's best interest. Legal documents - For your appointment as guardian to be valid, the Order Appointing Guardian of Minor must be signed. Once the court signs the order, the guardian must go to the clerk's office, where Letters of Guardianship will be issued. Letters of Guardianship is a legal document that provides proof that you have been appointed and are serving as the guardian of a minor. You should obtain several certified copies of the Letters from the clerk. These legal documents will be of assistance to you in the performance of your duties, such as enrolling the child in school, obtaining medical care, and taking care of estate business. Attorneys and legal resources - if you have an attorney, the attomey will advise you on your duties and responsibilities, the limits of your authority, the rights of the child, and your dealings with the court. If you have legal questions, you should consult with your attorney. Please remember that the court staff cannot give you legal advice. {Continued on page five) GC-248 [New January 4, 2004 } DUTIES OF GUARDIAN Page four of five (Probate)

Starting a case in probate court or juvenile court A probate guardianship case begins when a private person files a petition to appoint a guardian. A juvenile dependency case begins only if the child welfare agency files a petition. However, a private person can ask the agency to file a petition. If the agency does not. that person can ask the juvenile court to order the agency to file a petition. Even if the agency files a petition. the juvenile court can deny it if the child doesn’t meet the legal standard. If the probate court thinks a juvenile dependency case might be appropriate after a guardianship case begins but before a guardian is appointed, the court can ask the agency to file a dependency petition and, if the agency does not, can ask the juvenile court to order the agency to file a petition. Families can also arrange for care and a place to live for a child without going to court. These arrangements are usually temporary and often involve documents such as a Caregiver’s Authorization Affidavit (see wisn. courts. ca. gowdocuments: caregiver pdf) or a Voluntary Placement Agreement with a child welfare agency (see wiir.cdss.cu. gawcedsswebentresformsenglish’soe 155. pdf). Information on the Probate Guardianship of the Person (form GC-20S-INFO) gives information about these arrangements. Foster parents/resource families Ifa juvenile court finds that a child cannot continue living safely at home, the court will order the child placed out of the home in the care and custody of the county child welfare agency (sometimes called child protective services or CPS). The agency can then place the child in the home of an approved foster parent. If a foster parent has been approved through the resource family approval (RFA) process, the foster parent is sometimes called a resource family, so this form uses the term “foster parent/resource family.” Approval as a foster parent/resource family is difficult and takes time. Some families will not be approved because they do not meet the strict standards. Guardians A guardian is an adult appointed by either the probate court or the juvenile court to take long-term care, custody, and control of a child when the child’s parents are unavailable or unable to care for the child. A relative or nonrelative can be appointed as guardian if the court finds the appointment is in the child’s best interest. In general, probate guardians have the same rights and duties as juvenile court guardians. However, probate guardians have access to different, and often fewer, financial supports, services, and resources, Judicial Council of Catifomia, www courts ca gov . . .

Comparison of Guardians With Other Nonparent GC-207-INFO/JV-352-INFO Caregivers 2. The Services and Financial Support Available to Different Types of Caregivers The payment amounts discussed below are updated annually based on the cost of living. Payments are made retroactively. For example, a child placed with a caregiver in January would receive funds for the month of January in February. The payment amounts given below are in effect from July |, 2022, to June 30, 2023. For updated amounts, see WW. Ce ovinforesources/letters-regulations/letters-and-notices/all-county-letiers, Cash Payments per Child—Relatives Before a relative is approved as a foster parent/resource family, Emergency Caregiver (EC) funding is available at the foster care basic rate starting from the date the child is placed with the relative. EC funding is limited to the foster care basic rate, $1,129 per month. After approval, the foster parent/resource family will receive foster care payments through federal Aid for Families with Dependent Children-—Foster Care (AFDC-FC). These payments are set at the foster care basic rate, $1,129 per month. There are different eligibility requirements for federal and state AFDC-FC. The child welfare agency will determine eligibility. For a child in relative foster care who is not eligible for federal AFDC-FC or EC, Approved Relative Caregiver (ARC) payments are available. These payments are set at the foster care basic rate, $1,129 per month. California foster youth who are placed with a relative out of state are eligible for funds at the foster care rate in the state where they are placed. Child-only California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids Program (CalWORKs) payments are available for a child living with a relative guardian. The income of the family is considered in calculating the amount of cash aid the family receives. Payments are approximately one- half of the foster care basic rate paid to nonrelatives. A relative caregiver can receive this assistance before appointment as guardian if the child lives with the relative. Payments can drop below one-half of the foster care basic rate if there are multiple children in the home. CalWORKs Maximum Aid Payment (MAP) levels depend on variables such as geographic region and exempt/nonexempt status and are hard to calculate. From October 1, 2022, to September 30, 2024, MAP amounts for one child in California are expected to range from $669 to $779 per month. A social worker who specializes in benefits would be the best person to ask about MAP levels for cash aid. Payments end when the child turns 18 years old, but it is possible to extend payments to age 19 if the child is completing high school. Kinship Guardianship Assistance Payment (Kin-GAP) payments are available to children who have lived with an approved relative guardian for at least six months. Kin-GAP families sign a written agreement with the county. The Kin-GAP payments begin once the agreement is signed and the juvenile court terminates the dependency case. Payments cannot exceed the amount the child was receiving in foster care, but they can include the foster care basic rate and any special needs supplements the child was receiving. The income of the child’s parents, Kin-GAP guardian, or any other relative living in the household is not used to determine the child’s Kin-GAP eligibility. Kin-GAP payments generally end when a child turns 18 but can continue until age 19 if the child is completing high school or until age 21 if the Kin-GAP payments started after the child turned 16 or if the child has an ongoing disability. If the court keeps the juvenile case open after appointing a relative guardian, the guardian can receive Approved Relative Caregiver (ARC) or foster care payments instead of Kin-GAP. In very rare situations, a relative guardian may not qualify for Kin-GAP, foster care, or ARC payments, but may still qualify for California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids Program (CalWORKs) payments.

They range from the foster care basic rate of $1,129 per month to $5,720 per month for a parenting youth living in transitional housing in a high- cost county. Independent Living Program funding is available for current and former foster youth up to age 21, if they were in foster care on or after they reached age 16. This funding can help youth learn household and money management and help them with education, housing, and employment. Chafee Education and Training Vouchers for postsecondary education are available for youth who were in foster care on or after age 16. Vouchers are worth up to $5,000 per year. However, a youth living with a former guardian and receiving CalWORKs (relative) or AFDC- FC (nonrelative) payments may continue receiving payments until age 19 if the youth is completing high school or another eligible education program or until age 21 if the youth has a disability. Independent Living Program funding is available for current and former foster youth up to age 21, if they were in foster care on or after age 16, they entered into a Kin-GAP guardianship after age 16, or they entered into a nonrelated legal guardianship through juvenile court after age 8. This funding can help youth learn to manage their household and money and help them with education, housing, and employment. Chafee Education and Training Vouchers may be available. See the Foster Parent/Resource Family column for details. Childcare Assistance The Emergency Child Care Bridge program provides childcare vouchers and navigation support to caregivers of children in foster care and to foster youth who have children of their own. Eligibility depends on available funding and county policy. Income-based childcare assistance may be available to children in probate guardianships. Emergency Child Care Bridge program benefits are not available after a guardianship is established, but income- based childcare assistance may be available. California offers a variety of publicly funded childcare programs to eligible families.

Comparison of Guardians With Other Nonparent GC-207-INFO/JV-352-INFO Caregivers STAGE Probate Guardian Juvenile Court Guardian Decision to Appoint a Guardian If the probate court finds that appointment of a guardian is necessary and in the child’s best interest, the court may appoint a guardian. The juvenile court may appoint a guardian at different times during the case, after making the required findings. In a dependency case, if the court finds that the petition is true, it can appoint a guardian for the child at the dispositional hearing, if the parents and the child agree and the court finds that appointing the guardian is in the child’s best interest. In a juvenile justice case, the court can appoint a guardian for the child at any time after the dispositional hearing if the probation officer recommends it or the child’s attorney requests it. In either a dependency or juvenile justice case, if the court has ordered out- of-home placement and denied or terminated reunification services, the court can appoint a guardian as the child’s permanent plan at a separate hearing. The court decides whom to appoint as guardian. The person who has been caring for the child is almost always appointed. The procedures for appointing a guardian are generally the same in dependency and juvenile justice, but there are some differences. For more information, see Jnformation on Juvenile Court Guardianship (form JV-350-INFO), and check with the social worker or probation officer. Court Oversight After a guardian is appointed, there are no regular court hearings, although the probate court has the authority to regulate and control the guardian’s actions. The court can order the guardian to allow visitation of the child with parents or other persons. The court may order the guardian to submit an annual status report to the court and, depending on the county, the court may hold a hearing. (See Information on Probate Guardianship of the Person (form GC-205-INFQ).) On receipt of a request, the court may order the guardian to take action. The court may also order the guardian to appear and explain actions they have taken; the court may approve or rescind those actions. The juvenile court keeps jurisdiction over the guardianship. When the court appoints a guardian, it must also issue parental visitation orders unless it finds that visitation would be detrimental to the child. In many cases after the guardianship is granted, especially if the guardian is related to the child, the court will terminate dependency or juvenile justice jurisdiction and will not hold any more regularly scheduled court hearings. In other cases, the court will grant the guardianship, keep dependency or juvenife justice jurisdiction, and continue to hold regular review hearings. After it terminates juvenile jurisdiction, the juvenile court keeps jurisdiction over the guardianship and can give orders to the guardian. Any request to change a court order, including a visitation order, or to end the guardianship must be filed in the juvenile court using Request to Change Court Order (form JV-180).

GC-207-INFO/JV-352-INFO Caregivers Comparison of Guardians With Other Nonparent STAGE Probate Guardian Juvenile Court Guardian Role of Social Worker or Probation Officer A county social worker is responsible for screening any proposed guardian and for conducting the guardianship investigation if the proposed guardian is not related to the child. If the probate court thinks a child who is the subject of a guardianship petition may be abused or neglected. it can ask a social worker to investigate and fite a dependency petition in the juvenile court before it decides whether to appoint a guardian. [f the social worker files a dependency petition, then the juvenile court will have authority over the child's custody and placement. The probate court case will be put on hold until the juvenile court case is over. After a probate guardian is appointed, no social worker is involved unless the child or guardian receives public financial support or services. If the dependency or juvenile justice case is kept open after guardianship is granted, the social worker or probation officer will provide support to the guardian and child and prepare reports for scheduled juvenile court hearings. If the juvenile dependency or juvenile justice case is closed after guardianship is granted, the juvenile court will continue to oversee the guardianship. Continued involvement by the social worker or probation officer will depend on any services and financial support the child continues to receive. Terminating Guardianship The guardianship automatically terminates (ends) when the child turns 18 or if, before turning 18, the child dies, is emancipated by court order, gets married, joins the armed services, or is adopted. if the guardian, a parent, the child, an Indian custodian, or the child’s tribe shows that it is in the child’s best interest, the court can end the guardianship before the child turns 18. The longer the child has lived with the guardian, the harder it is to show that termination is in the child’s best interest. If the child consents, the court can extend a guardianship up to the child’s 21st birthday to let the child complete a federal application for Special Immigrant Juvenile status. The guardianship automatically terminates when the child turns 18 or if, before reaching age 18, the child dies, is emancipated by court order, gets married, joins the armed services, or is adopted. The court can terminate the guardianship if it finds that another permanent plan, such as adoption, is in the child’s best interest. A social worker or probation officer, the guardian, a parent, the child, an Indian custodian, or the child’s tribe can file a request with the juvenile court to terminate the guardianship. Terminating Parental Rights Appointment of a probate guardian suspends parental rights, but does not terminate them. However, under the Probate Code, if a child has been living with the guardian for at least two years, the guardian can file a petition to terminate parental rights so that the guardian can adopt the child. Parents are entitled to appointed counsel if this happens. In some situations, specified in the Family Code, the guardian can ask to adopt the child after as few as six months have passed or may need to wait up to three years. If the child is an Indian child, the Indian Child Welfare Act requires different procedures. Appointment of a juvenile court guardian suspends parental rights, but does not terminate them. A social worker or probation officer, the guardian, or the child can file a request with the juvenile court to terminate parental rights and change the permanent plan to adoption. The court will hold a hearing to decide whether to grant the request. Each parent is entitled to notice of the hearing, to participate, and to have an attorney appointed for them. If the child is an Indian child, the Indian Child Welfare Act requires different procedures. New January 1, 2023 Comparison of Guardians With Other Nonparent Caregivers GC-207-INFO/JV-352-INFO
