Question: My husband & I are legal guardians to a non relative child age 15. We have had him since he was 7. Mother's location not known. Father never in picture. We would like to transfer guardianship to our son & his wife. How do we proceed with this? The child was a ward of the state and we do receive cash assistance, health benefits and free lunch at his school and would like that transferred to our son as well. We do not want to incur any legal costs. Thank you.
Answer: Arizona Revised Statute 8-874 discusses this subject. It provides the information needed to file a motion for appointment of a successor permanent guardian. The statute also describes the court process.
