ALASKA GUARDIANSHIP PETITION PREPARATION WORKSHEET
DO NOT FILE THIS WORKSHEET. The Alaska Court System uses different
official packets for adult guardianship, adult conservatorship, minor
guardianship, emergency relief, and a guardian appointed in a will. Select
one track, download its current forms, and transfer only verified information
to those forms.

☐ Adult guardianship — regular petition. Use the current Adult
Guardianship Petition Packet, PG 500.
☐ Adult guardianship — emergency request. Use the current Emergency
Petition Packet for Adult Guardianship, PG-520. Do not convert the regular
packet into an emergency filing.
☐ Adult conservatorship. Use the separate current adult-conservatorship
packet. A guardianship worksheet does not establish authority over property.
☐ Adult conservatorship — emergency request. Use the current Emergency
Petition Packet for Temporary Conservatorship, PG-530.
☐ Minor guardianship — non-Indian child track. Use the current packet for
guardianship of a non-Indian minor.
☐ Minor guardianship — Alaska Native or American Indian child track. Use
the current Indian-child packet and its notice/service materials.
☐ Guardian named in a parent's will. Use the current packet for a guardian
of a minor appointed by will.
☐ Unresolved classification. Stop. Do not choose a packet until counsel
reviews age, tribal or village membership/eligibility, parental status,
property needs, emergency facts, existing orders, and other proceedings.

- Alaska Court System — Guardianship & Conservatorship Forms
Family law covers the paperwork that shapes divorce, custody, child support, adoption, guardianship, and other family matters. These filings are emotional and high-stakes, and they also have to meet strict procedural rules for service, financial disclosure, and parenting plans. Clean, accurate paperwork keeps the focus on getting a workable outcome for the family instead of getting derailed by technical problems that delay hearings or force amended filings.
