DUTIES OF GUARDIAN
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
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
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 - of the person of the child, you have full legal and physical custody of the child and are
As guardian
responsible for decisions relating to the child. The child's parents can no longer make decisions for the
all
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 educational needs such as coIIege 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.
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. |f 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.
