Abstract
An integrated guardianship system. The system can include a Clerk of the Court system for processing ward data and guardianship data; a guardian background investigation system communicatively linked to the Clerk of the Court system over a computer communications network; and, at least one database for storing ward, guardianship and background data, wherein the ward, guardianship and background data can be accessed by an authorized system communicatively linked to the computer communications network. Notably, the guardian background investigation system can conduct background investigations of guardians based on guardian data electronically provided by the Clerk of the Court system over the computer communications network. The background investigations, in turn, can produce guardian background data. Finally, the guardian background investigation system can electronically provide the guardian background data to the Clerk of the Court system over the computer communications network.
