Plain-English Summary

A guardian for a minor answers to the court once a year. This rule sets the deadline, the form, the oath, and who gets a copy.

The report is due not later than 30 days following each anniversary of appointment, and it must be in writing. It must include a declaration under penalty of perjury in the form required by the Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure, or, where the person signing is physically outside the boundaries of the United States, an unsworn declaration under the Oregon statutes that govern them.

Use the form provided on the Oregon courts website unless the judicial district where the report will be filed has adopted another form by supplementary local rule or by presiding judge order. Check the local rules before building a document of your own, since the district's form controls where it exists.

Copies go out as well as in. The guardian must give copies of the report to the persons the guardianship statute specifies, so filing with the court alone does not complete the obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is a minor guardian's annual report due?

Not later than 30 days following each anniversary of the appointment. The anniversary of appointment, not the calendar year or the end of an accounting period, sets the date.

What form do I use for the report?

The form provided on the Oregon courts website, substantially followed. If the judicial district where you file has adopted another form by supplementary local rule or by presiding judge order, use that one instead.

Does the report have to be sworn?

It must include a declaration under penalty of perjury in the form required by the Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure. That declaration is part of the report, not a separate cover document.

What if I am outside the United States when I sign?

If the declarant is physically outside the boundaries of the United States, the report may carry an unsworn declaration under the Oregon statutes that provide for them, in place of the declaration under the Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure.

Who gets a copy of the guardian's report?

The persons the guardianship statute cited in the rule specifies. Copies must be given to them, so plan on distribution at the same time you file.
