When you                are appointed by the court as a guardian of a minor, you become an officer of the court and assume certain
duties         and      obligations. 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
Ifthe probate court appoints you as a guardian of the person for a child, you                                       will   be required   to   assume                important
duties and obligations.


          Fundamental responsibilities - The guardian of the person of a child has the care, custody, and control of
                   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.



          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.


          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 educationalneeds such as college or a specialized school. You must assist the child in obtaining
          services  the child has special educational needs. You should help the child in setting and attaining his or her
                           if

                                   —

                                                it                                                                               it

          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. IndividuaI states have different rules
          regarding guardianships.                       You should seek           additional information about guardianships in the state                      where you
          want the          child to live.

        Medical 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 driver‘s license. If 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
        California 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.


        Court visitors and status reports - Some counties have a program in which "court visitors" track and review
        guardianships. If your county has such a program, you will be expected to cooperate with all requests of the
        court visitor. As guardian, you may also be required to fill out and file status reports. In all counties, you must
        cooperate with the court and court investigators.


        Misconduct of the child - A guardian, like a parent, is liable for the harm and damages caused by the willful
        misconduct of a child. There are special rules concerning harm caused by the use of a_ firearm. If you are
        concerned about your possible liability, you should consult an attorney.

        Additional responsibilities — The court may place other conditions on the guardianship or additional duties
        upon you, as guardian. For example, the court may require the guardian to complete counseling or parenting
        classes, to obtain specific services for the child, or to follow a scheduled visitation plan between the child and
        the child's parents or relatives. As guardian, you must follow all court orders.
