How long does the guardianship process take?
A petition for guardianship goes through a court process to determine the appropriateness of a guardianship. WCPG has no control over the length of time it takes for a petition to process through the legal system. Due to these factors, the guardianship process may be lengthy and should not be considered an immediate emergency intervention.
