A woman who converts to Islam will often have no male Muslim relatives to act as a guardian (wali). I see online questions along the lines of "I'm a convert woman, have no guardian, and want to get married; what do I do?" The advice is usually pick some random knowledgeable Muslim man. But I feel there is more to the role of the male guardian than this, and I'm wondering how the convert woman would go about finding a (suitable) guardian in general, and not just for the wedding.

Question: How does a convert woman go about finding a guardian?

SeekersHub.org writes that having a male guardian is not obligatory in the Hanafi school. It thus seems possible for a convert woman to simply not have a guardian, but let's assume she wants one regardless.
