STANDBY GUARDIAN: Custody of a child can also be obtained without going to court by becoming a Standby Guardian. A standby guardianship is created by having the parents sign a document available from the probate court stating that they are consenting to have the grandparent or relative take guardianship of their child.
Obtaining Guardianship. Guardianship laws for adults are complex and vary from state to state but, in general, a guardian can be appointed in one of two ways: under a will or via a court order. A guardian is appointed in a will when the previous guardian names a new guardian in his will and the previous guardian dies. If the new guardian accepts the appointment, guardianship of the adult child passes to that person. Not all states recognize this method of assigning guardianship.
