Title 11 Guardians ad Litem
Appointment of GALs from the Title 11 GAL Registry
Below you will find the link for the current Title 11 (Guardianship) GAL Registry. The Title 11.88 GAL Registry is provided for reference only; do not present on order appointing a GAL on a guardianship case prior to contacting Court Administration. Also, please note that GALs must be listed on this registry in order to accept cases in Benton and Franklin Counties.
Per RCW 11.88.090 and Local Guardian Ad Litem Rule 5, Title 11 GAL appointments from the Guardianship registry are made on a rotational basis. Title 11 GALs are listed in alphabetical order and appointments are made in that order. If you need a Title 11 GAL, please contact the GAL Registry Manager at 509-736-3071 for a list of names of the next three GALs. You are then responsible for contacting the GALs in the order provided, securing a GAL and informing Court Administration of who accepted the case.
