[WSBAPT] What to file for emergency guardianship appointment in King County?

[Candace Wilkerson]

Hi Listmates,

I have a client who waited till the absolute last minute to tell me she needed to be appointed guardian of her severely disabled daughter turning 18 in early November.  She needs to be appointed on the date of her daughter's birthday so her daughter's medical needs can be continuously covered.  I have filed many guardianships, but nothing that required immediate appointment on at least a temporary basis while waiting for the regular appointment.

I have all of the basic documents ready to file, but can't find any statutory or case law for emergency appointment in the State of WA.  I was planning to file a motion for order shortening time and a motion for temporary emergency appointment, with the hearing to be set for the day of the daughter's birthday.  Unfortunately, I can't get all of the notice parties (besides the daughter herself) to waive notice, because the daughter's father is the petitioner's estranged ex-husband.  Any thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks,
Candace Wilkerson
