Notice: Proper notice is served to all relevant parties, including the incapacitated person (if possible) and their family members. This ensures that everyone involved is aware of the upcoming hearing and their rights. 3. Hearing: A court hearing is scheduled to review the evidence presented in the petition.

Guardian of the Estate: A guardian of the estate is responsible for managing the financial affairs, assets, and property of the incapacitated person. This form of guardianship enables the guardian to make financial decisions on behalf of the individual, such as paying bills, managing investments, and handling legal matters. 3.

Limited guardianship means that the appointed guardian has authority over particular areas while the individual retains decision-making capacity in other aspects. 4.

Temporary guardianship ensures that immediate decisions can be made for the person's wellbeing until a permanent guardian can be appointed.
