Soyod, our solicitor, dealt with what needed to be done in a timely fashion and made sure we had copies of what had been completed. I was very pleased with the service and will use this branch again for future needs.

What is Guardianship? The Legal Options Explained

"Guardianship" can refer to several different legal arrangements for the care of a child. Our solicitors are experts in all areas and can advise on the best solution for your family's unique circumstances.

Special Guardianship Orders (SGOs)

An SGO is a court order for when a child needs a long-term, stable home with a family member or carer. It grants the Special Guardian enhanced parental responsibility, allowing them to make key decisions for the child.

Discuss an SGO

Appointing a Guardian in a Will

This is a crucial step for any parent. By appointing a testamentary guardian in your Will, you legally decide who would look after your children if you were to pass away, ensuring they are cared for by someone you trust.

Appoint a Guardian

Child Arrangement Orders

This is the most common parental court order, determining who a child lives with and spends time with. It can be a vital step in securing a stable home for a child when parents are unable to care for them.

Questions About Child Guardianship

What is a Special Guardianship Order (SGO)?

An SGO is a court order that gives a carer, often a family member like a grandparent, enhanced parental responsibility for a child until they turn 18. It is a more permanent order than a Child Arrangement Order and allows the guardian to make key decisions without consulting the birth parents.

Who can be appointed as a legal guardian in a Will?

You can appoint any trusted person over the age of 18 to be a guardian for your children in your Will. This is often a close family member or friend. It is vital to discuss this with the person beforehand to ensure they are willing to take on this important role.

What is the difference between a Special Guardian and a foster carer?

A foster carer is appointed by the local authority on a temporary basis and does not have parental responsibility. A Special Guardian is appointed by the court on a long-term basis and is given enhanced parental responsibility to make all the day-to-day decisions for the child.
