Question: Hello, I am filling out an annual report of guardian for my minor niece for the first time. Is there an official form that our doctor must fill out as the doctor's report or is it simply a letter from our pediatrician reporting on my niece's current health? Thank you.

Answer:

The following is provided for general information only. To find out how the law applies to a specific situation, contact an attorney directly. Visit the Self-Service Center at The Judicial Branch of Arizona for Maricopa County, to find instructions for how to fill out the Annual Report of Guardian. According to the website for the Pima County Superior Court, "[a] written statement from the Doctor that describes the doctor's observations about the minor's physical and mental health is sufficient."  The clerk at the local superior court should be able to say whether requirements differ in your area.  Find your local superior court here.
