Do you know how adult guardianships work in Oklahoma? In this insightful video, attorney Aaron Grubb from Wirth Law Office outlines the five essential steps involved in an adult guardianship case.

Next, the ward and their close relatives must be notified, followed by a court hearing to assess the ward’s condition and determine necessary support. The court will then appoint a guardian and require annual reports on the ward’s status. For more information on adult guardianships or other legal questions, visit TahlequahAttorney.com.

If your kids have been placed in a guardianship based on a deprive situation, DHS was involved and the court placed them in a guardianship, you’re going to have things in that guardianship order that you’re going to have to have completed and you’re going to have to have proof of that. If this is just a regular guardianship, a Title 30 guardianship is what we call it, then you’re still going to have to come in and prove that you’re the parent and you have a good home situation, and that there’s a reason for the court to terminate that guardianship. Remember, the court at one point found there was good reason to have a guardianship so you’re going to have come in and prove well, there’s a reason now to get rid of it. And if you don’t have an attorney, and if you don’t have an attorney that knows what they’re doing, this could be very difficult for you, and in some cases you’re probably going to get told no and you’re going to have keep coming back.
