Georgia Code § 29-2-7 - Powers of Temporary Guardians; Medical Insurance Coverage for Minors

(a) Except as otherwise provided by law, a temporary guardian shall be entitled to exercise any of the powers of a natural guardian. The court in its discretion may waive the requirement that a temporary guardian file the personal status reports that are required by paragraph (8) of subsection (b) of Code Section 29-2-21.

(b) If a temporary guardian, in writing, assumes the obligation to support the minor while the temporary guardianship is in effect, to the extent that no other sources of support are available, then for purposes of obtaining medical insurance coverage for the minor the temporary guardianship shall be deemed to be a permanent guardianship.
