Judgment Entry Of Appointment Of Guardian For Incompetent {17.5}

FORM 17.5 - JUDGMENT ENTRY APPOINTMENT OF GUARDIAN FOR INCOMPETENT PERSON. This form from the Probate Court of Stark County, Ohio is used by the court to officially document its decision to appoint a guardian for an adult who has been found legally incompetent under Ohio Revised Code 2111.02 and Supreme Court Rules 66.04 and 66.06. After a hearing, if the court finds that the proposed ward is unable to care for themselves or manage their property due to a condition such as mental illness, disability, or other incapacity, and that a guardianship is necessary, the court uses this form to make the appointment. It confirms that proper legal notice was given to all relevant parties, establishes jurisdiction, and names a suitable person as the guardian—either limited or full, and for the person, estate, or both. The form also states whether a bond is required or waived, whether a record of the hearing was made or waived, and that the guardian must follow Supreme Court rules governing guardianships. www.FormsWorkflow.com
