Legal Question in Elder Law in California

Re: temporary guardianship

If someone already has the legal authority to move her, yes. However, discuss the options with an attorney--just filing your petition and getting the court, court investigator and court-appointed counsel involved may lead to a better resolution.

Re: temporary guardianship

Whoever is guardian can move the person, after obtaining a specific court order. If there is no existing legal guardian, and you need to file to become one, you would ask for an order at the same time. In an emergency properly documented to the court, the court might grant the order without waiting for a hearing. If this is in SoCal, and you are serious about hiring counsel to do this, feel free to contact me.
