Alaska Court System Self-Help

The law requires all newly appointed guardians and conservators to complete 1 hour or more of mandatory education within 30 days of the court appointment order. The court system offers an online course to learn more about being a guardian or conservator and to meet the education requirement. If you cannot complete the course online because of a poor internet connection, you can request a flash drive to complete the course on a computer without using the internet. You can ask your local court for the course on a flash drive with instructions. The course includes:

• Part 1 - Course | Audio Transcript
  when someone may need a guardian and some less restrictive alternatives to consider,
• Part 2 - Course | Audio Transcript
  the court process to become a guardian or conservator, including the forms and court hearings; and
• Part 3 - Course | Audio Transcript
  once appointed as a guardian or conservator, how to make decisions, deal with finances, complete the required court reports, including the deadlines and how to fill them out.

If you have already been appointed as a new guardian or conservator, complete Part 3 of the course Guardianship and Conservatorship. At the end of Part 3, you will be directed to sign up for a short quiz. After submitting your information, the court will send you an email with instructions about the quiz. Once you pass the quiz at 80% or higher, you will receive a certificate showing you have met the education requirement. File that with:

• Affirmation of Completion of Mandatory Education Requirement, PG-120

This software was designed for guardians and conservators in Alaska to track both income and expenses during the year. The software can also save statements or receipts. We encourage you to use our manual and short training when first using the software. We also strongly encourage you to take the Annual Report class on the 2nd Tuesday of each month from 12 noon to 2pm.

This software is for personal tracking only. The court does not have access to your data in this software program. This is also only for tracking purposes and securely keeping documentation. Just using the software does not equal the documentation such as bank statements and receipts. You will still need to keep items like bank statements but you can safely upload invoices and receipts that match entered expenses.
