Guardianship and guardianship are two similar but not synonymous terms. Guardianship can be established over a child under the age of 14, as well as over a person suffering from mental disorders or incapacitation. Guardianship is established over children from 14 to 18 years old, as well as over adults with alcohol or drug addiction.
Instructions
Step 1
If you plan to establish guardianship or guardianship over an incapacitated person, or over someone who suffers from mental disorders, alcoholism or drug addiction, then you need to contact the guardianship and guardianship authorities and discuss the situation with a specialist. The issue of recognizing a person in need of guardianship or guardianship is decided in court. If the case is decided in your favor, then you will need to collect a package of documents.
Step 2
Contact the guardianship and trusteeship authorities by submitting your application for appointment as a guardian; a certificate from the place of work indicating the position and salary; a document confirming the ownership of real estate, as well as its compliance with the established norms; a certificate from the Internal Affairs Directorate about the absence of a criminal record; medical certificate; written confirmation that all residents of the apartment or house agree to live with your ward; autobiography. If special training is needed to care for a charge, you will also need proof that you have completed it. After reviewing your application, the guardianship and guardianship authorities will inform you of their decision.
Step 3
If you want to establish guardianship or guardianship over a minor, then first you have to prove your right to do so. People over 60 years of age, as well as those who have been deprived of parental rights, have a criminal record, have cancer, tuberculosis, suffer from mental disorders or alcoholism, and use drugs, cannot take on the upbringing of a child. Serious heart disease will also be an insurmountable obstacle.
Step 4
Talk to a care and support specialist. You will be given a list of doctors with whom you should be examined. If you are recognized as healthy enough, then you will receive a medical report, which must be presented to an employee of the guardianship and guardianship authorities. You will also need a certificate from the place of work, a certificate of no criminal record, an autobiography, a marriage certificate, a statement of the desire to take up a child and documents confirming the availability of living space that meets the established standards.
