Alaska Statutes Title 13. Decedents' Estates, Guardianships, Transfers, Trusts, and Health Care Decisions § 13.26.740. Staff; delegation of powers and duties

The public guardian may employ staff and delegate to members of the staff or to volunteers the powers and duties as guardian or conservator and other powers and duties under this chapter. However, the public guardian retains responsibility for the proper performance of the delegated powers and duties. The public guardian may only delegate powers and duties under this chapter to an individual who meets the eligibility requirements of AS 13.26.311 and has passed the criminal history record information check under AS 08.26.070. In addition, the individual must either hold a current certification as a guardian from a nationally recognized organization at the time of the delegation or apply for and receive that certification within one year of the delegation.
