Steps to Establish a Guardianship

  1. A referral for guardianship is made by completing a Request for Guardian Services form. Referral forms can be completed by nursing homes, the Court or family members.
  2. The Request for Guardian Services form and a copy of a recent Expert Evaluation is submitted via email to the Guardianship Program Coordinator at The Full Life Center. The Expert Evaluation must be completed and signed by a physician or licensed clinical psychologist.
  3. The Coordinator will assign a qualified Volunteer or family member to act as guardian and this will initiate the guardianship legal process.
  4. Appropriate family members will be notified and asked to sign a Waiver of Notice & Consent.
  5. The documents will be filed with the Tuscarawas County Probate Court and a hearing date will be set with official notices going to the ward about the guardianship proceedings.
  6. At the hearing, the Judge will listen to evidence presented and make a ruling concerning the guardianship.
