DO YOU WANT TO APPLY AS GUARDIAN OF A CHILD OR INCAPACITATED PERSON IN NIGERIA? HERE IS HOW TO

In Nigeria, guardianship is a legal process where an person or organization is appointed to care for a child or an incapacitated person, managing their welfare, property, and financial affairs.

A child here means a person below 18 years of age.

Guardianship gives you rights and responsibilities just like the parents of the child.

The following persons or organizations can apply for guardianship:

1. Relatives of the child or incapacitated person.
2. A family friend or acquaintance with a genuine interest in the person’s welfare.
3. A non-governmental organization (NGO) or charitable institution.
4. The court can also on it’s own appoint a guardian if no one applies.

Consult a Lawyer: Engage the legal services of an experienced Lawyer to guide you through the process of guardianship. Guardianship involves a legal process and only your Lawyer can help you through the whole process.

Your Lawyer will file a petition for guardianship at the relevant court, and there will be a Court hearing where the Magistrate will review the Guardianship application and supporting documents; conduct an inquiry into the applicant’s suitability and, most importantly, consider the best interests of the child or incapacitated person.
