Ex Parte Application for Temporary Guardianship

Ventura Superior Court · Ventura County Local Forms

Verified current as of July 19, 2026

This form is used when someone needs to quickly become a temporary guardian for a child or incapacitated adult without waiting for a full court hearing, typically in emergency situations where the person's safety or welfare is at immediate risk. A person would need this form if they are trying to care for a child whose parents are unavailable or unable to care for them, or to manage affairs for an adult who can no longer care for themselves, and they need the court's permission to do so right away.
