FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

These answers are general document-preparation information. They do not replace court instructions or legal advice.

Question 1What is the G-2B guardianship form used for?

The G-2B petition is generally used when a child has money or property and someone needs the Surrogate's Court to appoint a guardian to protect or manage that property. Keystone can help organize factual information for the packet, but it does not decide whether guardianship is legally appropriate.

Question 2Does this cover guardianship of the child's person too?

This page is focused on guardianship of property. Some cases also involve guardianship of the child's person or other guardianship papers. The facts should be reviewed carefully before filing.

Question 3What information is usually needed?

The packet commonly asks for the child's information, parent or guardian information, where the child lives, what money or property is involved, and who is asking to serve as guardian.

Question 4Can Keystone tell me who should be guardian?

No. Keystone asks factual questions and prepares documents from the answers provided. Choosing who should serve, whether someone should object, or whether a court should appoint a particular person can require legal advice.

Question 5Can the generated packet be filed immediately?

The packet should be reviewed before signing or filing. Court rules, required attachments, filing fees, and local practices can change.

Document preparation

Facts only. No legal-advice questions.

Keystone Pinnacle Pro is built to ask factual questions: names, dates, addresses, family relationships, assets, debts, notices, signatures, and filing details. It does not ask users to choose legal strategy, interpret legal rights, decide who should object, or answer questions that require legal advice. If a question turns on legal judgment, the user should confirm requirements with the Surrogate's Court or speak with an attorney.

Keystone Pinnacle Pro helps organize information into form packets you can review, print, sign, and file. We do not choose the correct proceeding for you, represent you in court, or guarantee court acceptance.
