Difference between revisions of "Guardianship, Parenting Arrangements and Contact"

Appointments are made by Form 2, a form set out in the [http://canlii.ca/t/8rdx Family Law Act Regulation]. The guardian must sign the form in the presence of two witnesses, neither of whom is the guardian being appointed. The form must state the conditions that have to be met for the appointment to take effect, such as a doctor's certificate of incapacity. A guardian cannot appoint a guardian to act with any more parental responsibilities than those he or she had at the time of the appointment.

A person who is appointed as a standby guardian does not have to apply for appointment under s. 51 of the act, and continues to serve as the guardian of the child after the death of the appointing guardian.
