[WSBAPT] Guardian and Standby Guardian both passed away

Elizabeth makes a great suggestion.  You might also consider asking the court to waive the requirement because under the UGA there is no requirement for a standby guardian and we’ll all be operating under the UGA in January.

In this type of situation, I usually find a CPG to serve as Standby who is willing to serve as Guardian if/when the family member is no longer available to serve.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Guardian and Standby Guardian both passed away
 
I have a situation where a Guardian (the mother of her severely disabled adult son) passed away. As I was in the process of having the Standby Guardian (the sister of the severely disabled adult) appointed as Guardian, I learned that she is likely to pass away in the very near future. Thus, I have neither a Guardian nor Standby Guardian. I am about to move forward to have another sibling appointed as Guardian and will need to find someone else to serve as Standby Guardian (there are no further family members available) but I have never faced this circumstance before. Any advice as to the process to be followed?

Thank you in advance.
