How to Become a Guardian: What Documents Are Required?

Do you want to become a guardian but are unsure about which documents you need to prepare for the process? This question concerns many people who wish to take on the responsibility of caring for a child or an individual who requires guardianship. While the law does not establish a clear and exhaustive list of documents, the court may require additional evidence of your ability to meet the requirements. Therefore, it is important to be ready to gather and submit certain documents that confirm your eligibility and ability to fulfill the responsibilities of a guardian.

Typically, the main set of documents submitted to the court includes:

1. Income certificate: a document confirming your financial ability to support the guardianship.
2. Bank statement: may be required to prove the stability of your finances.
3. Health certificate: necessary to show that you are physically and mentally capable of taking on the role of a guardian.
4. Criminal record certificate: an important document confirming your clean record.
5. Proof of ownership of housing: this could be a property deed or lease confirming that you have suitable accommodation for the child or individual in need of guardianship.
6. Certificates from a narcologist and psychiatrist: these documents confirm that you do not have mental or physical health issues that could affect your ability to act as a guardian.
7. Character reference from work or residence: this reference confirms your responsibility and ability to fulfill the duties of a guardian.

If you want to become a guardian but are unsure about which documents to prepare, it is best to contact experienced lawyers. A consultation with a qualified lawyer will help you properly gather all the required documents and avoid mistakes that could lead to the denial of guardianship.
