Hey there,

To establish emergency guardianship in Missouri, you’ll need to file a petition with the court, usually in the county where the person in need of guardianship resides. The process involves filling out specific forms, such as the Petition for Emergency Guardianship, and providing evidence that immediate guardianship is necessary. You’ll also need to provide information about the proposed guardian and any relevant details about the situation. The court typically reviews these petitions quickly, sometimes within a few days, but it can vary. It’s helpful to consult with a family law attorney who can guide you through the paperwork and ensure everything is completed correctly. Make sure to gather any supporting documents and be prepared for a court hearing where you may need to present your case.
