No. A petition for the appointment of a guardian of the estate of the minor should be filed in the state where the minor lives.
Sometimes, waiting is possible. For example, if the asset consists of the proceeds of an insurance policy and the company has a procedure for holding the assets, waiting may be an option. If the minor is seventeen and will emancipate soon, waiting may be an option. Each situation is different. Consult counsel for options.
A guardian of a minor’s estate is a person appointed by the Court to handle the assets of a minor and to safeguard them until the minor becomes 18.
