A: You will need to hire an attorney who handles guardianships to assist you with this. It is going to require petitioning the Courts in both CA and Texas.

A: Yes, you'll need a guardianship attorney in your area to request a transfer of the guardianship case. This can be very straightforward. In fact, some of the probate judges do not even require a hearing. Start with a free consultation with a guardianship attorney in your area.
