FAMILY LAW ATTORNEYS TO HELP WITH YOUR SPECIAL GUARDIANSHIP NEEDS

Guardianship can be an important factor to both the guardian appointed and the ward. This includes special guardianship. Under a special guardianship, a guardian is normally appointed for emergencies. Though these are temporary, it puts a ward in the care of a guardian to ensure they are watched over and protected.

This term is not heard of as often as general guardianship or limited guardianship, but it still does bear legal responsibilities on the part of the potential guardian. Nothing is taken lightly when it regards guardianships.

In Texas, there can be two types of guardianship that take place.

Two Types of Guardianship in Texas

Guardianship matters are taken seriously in Texas. The ward (the child to whom custody is granted) is one of the most innocent in situations of guardianship.

• Guardian of the Person – General guardianship entails complete control over the ward and their personal matters like housing, medical, and educational decisions.
• Guardian of the Estate – This type of guardianship control has control over the property and finances.

For many situations, the guardians can be the relatives of the ward, but this is not always the case. Regardless of the situation, it is important to know the legal process involved with special guardianships.  

Can Termination of Guardianship Happen Once Established

In short, yes. However, there are reasons that a termination can happen, but it doesn’t always happen for the reasons you might think. Sometimes it may not be because you are doing a bad job at being a guardian. It could mean that circumstances that led to the guardianship request have been resolved or the child’s circumstances have changed for the better.
