The length of a guardianship proceeding depends on the facts of the case. Under circumstances where everyone agrees that this person needs a Guardian, a guardianship proceeding could go through very quickly, within a month. In other cases, the court evaluator may find that there are some problems with the proposed Guardian, even though it’s clear that the individual needs a Guardian. Or, it could be that the individual is incapacitated, but has certain capabilities, so a question arises over which powers should be assigned to the Guardian. There may be a situation where a child might have been taking severe advantage of their parents for many years. If there is any contest, the proceeding may go on for months or even years.
