Temporary Custody and Guardianship Issues

We are often asked by clients to draw up a document appointing a temporary guardian for their children. Unfortunately, the only document which is provided for under the Maryland Code is a document which appoints a standby guardian for six months in the event a physician determines the parent is mentally incapacitated or physically debilitated. If you know you are going to need a temporary guardian, give us as much notice as possible so we can seek appointment of a temporary guardian or a temporary custodian.
