Rule 1-155. Appointment of guardian.

A. Letters of guardianship. When the court enters an order appointing a guardian, it shall issue letters of guardianship for the purpose of, without disclosing unnecessary information, clearly stating that the kinship guardian has all the authority of a parent, except the right to consent to adoption and any other rights the court orders be retained by a parent. If any rights are retained, those rights shall be clearly stated in the letter of guardianship. B. Caption; department a party. If the Children, Youth and Families Department (“the department”) is a party to the case, all orders that are likely to be disclosed to a non-party, including the letters of guardianship, shall use the following caption only: “In the Matter of [initials of child],” and shall include the case number. C. Caption; department not a party. If the department is not a party to the case, the case caption shall be “In the Matter of [initials of child],” and shall name the petitioner and respondents.
