Guardianship Capacity Questionnaire

The questionnaire is designed to help all parties in an incompetency proceeding gather information that will assist the Clerk of Court in determining what if any rights, powers and privileges the respondent can retain under guardianship or limited guardianship. The form may also assist the parties in determining whether alternatives to guardianship such as a representative payee for government benefits, a power of attorney, or a special needs trust might solve a problem thereby avoiding the need for incompetency hearing
