Alaska Court System Self-Help

All people seeking information about Alaska adult guardianships or conservatorships.

The Adult Guardianship Self-Help Phone Line provides services in 2 ways:

1. this website, which includes detailed information and forms for each stage of the case; and
2. a statewide telephone Self-Help Phone Line which has skilled neutral facilitators who can speak to you about your case. The Self-Help Phone Line is very busy. We encourage you to read the information on this website before calling - the answer to your question may be easier to find than you think. If you decide to call for help with filling out a form, be sure to have all of your paperwork handy.

If you need help with an existing Alaska court case, please have your case number when you call. If you do not have the case number, you may look it up.

The Adult Guardianship Self-Help Phone Line is very busy and we know it can be difficult to get through. We encourage you to read the website to see if you can find the information you need. We will try to return voicemails within 2 business days. We look forward to helping you.

The Adult Guardianship Self-Help Phone Line staff does not see customers in the office.

When you call, a facilitator will describe what we can and cannot do, and may ask some questions to help us collect data to support our grant funding. Then, we will ask you some basic questions to better understand what is going on in your case. This will help us give you appropriate information about forms and procedures to help you handle your case. The staff may also give you referral information to other legal and non-legal resources that might be helpful.
