Subchapter VI. Standby Guardianships
§ 2361. Legislative intent, findings and purpose.

The General Assembly hereby declares that there is a need to create an expeditious manner of establishing a guardianship known as standby guardianship, in order to enable a parent, custodian, or guardian suffering from a progressive chronic condition or a terminal illness to make plans for the permanent future care or the interim care of a child without terminating parental or legal rights.
