Frequently Asked Questions
What is a conditional guardian of minor children?
A conditional guardian of minor children is a person you designate in a legal document to act as guardian for your minor children only upon your incapacity. The document states that the designated guardian will assume authority when you are unable to act as parent and natural guardian. This allows you to plan for a temporary or permanent inability to care for your children.
When does a conditional guardian take effect?
The conditional guardian takes effect upon your incapacity to act as guardian of the minor children. The document specifies that the designated guardian shall act upon your disability. It does not grant immediate guardianship; it is contingent on your inability to serve.
What powers does a conditional guardian have?
The designated guardian has residential custody of the minor children, can approve or disapprove medical treatment within the bounds of the law, can designate schooling and access educational records, and generally acts in loco parentis. These powers are listed in the document and apply upon your disability. The guardian may also act as custodian for property held under the Uniform Transfer to Minors Act or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act if you are the custodian.
Can I name a successor guardian in a conditional guardian document?
Yes, the document allows you to nominate a successor guardian if the first designated guardian is unable or unwilling to serve. You can name an alternate person to act as guardian in place of the original designee. This ensures continuity of care for your minor children.
How do I designate a guardian for my minor children upon incapacity?
You designate a guardian by completing a legal document such as this one, which includes the names of the parents, the children, and the chosen guardian. The document states that you designate a specific person to act as guardian upon your incapacity. You may also nominate a successor guardian. The form provides blank spaces for these details.
What is the difference between a guardian and a custodian under the Uniform Transfer to Minors Act?
A guardian is designated to have residential custody and decision-making authority for minor children upon your incapacity, while a custodian under the Uniform Transfer to Minors Act or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act manages property for the minor. The document states that if you are the custodian of any property for the minor children under such statutes, you designate the guardian or successor guardian to act as custodian for that custodial property. This allows the same person to handle both personal care and property management.
What does in loco parentis mean in a guardian document?
In loco parentis means the guardian acts in the place of a parent, with the authority to make decisions and provide care as a parent would. The document grants the designated guardian the power to generally act in loco parentis. This includes the specific powers listed, such as residential custody, medical approval, and schooling decisions.

Yes, the document grants the designated guardian the authority to approve medical treatment of any kind or type or to disapprove the same within the bounds of the law. This power is effective upon your incapacity. The guardian can make medical decisions for the minor children.
What happens if the designated guardian is unable or unwilling to serve?
If the designated guardian is unable or unwilling to serve, the document allows you to nominate a successor guardian to act in their place. The successor guardian would then assume the same authority upon your incapacity. This provision ensures that a guardian is available even if the first choice cannot serve.
Does a conditional guardian have access to my children's educational records?
