Guardianship & Trusteeship questions, answered.
You can technically file for guardianship without a lawyer, but Alberta's guardianship process involves complicated requirements — including obtaining a Capacity Assessment Report (Form 4), completing the detailed Form 14 application documents, and navigating service obligations and affidavit filings under the Adult Guardianship and Trusteeship Act. Handling this yourself often leads to costly mistakes, court delays, and increased frustration.
