The training will provide a nuts and bolts approach to handling an
uncontested guardianship of a minor case. The training will include
instruction on how to complete the petition and accompanying pleadings,
waive fees and costs, obtain assents from the ward's parents, and how to
handle issues of service and the bond. This class will give
participants the tools they need to handle simple guardianship of minor
cases from filing through the establishment of a permanent guardianship.
In addition, attorneys and law students who attend this class will be
qualified to participate in the VLP/Senior Partners for Justice
guardianship petition assistance projects in the Norfolk (Wednesday),
Middlesex (Thursday) and Suffolk (Tuesday and Wednesday) Probate &
Family Courts on Fridays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. These are limited
assistance representation projects in which volunteers help pro se
petitioners complete and file the guardian of minor petition and other
pleadings
