Application For Appointment Of Guardian Of An Alleged Incompetent {17.0}

FORM 17.0 - APPLICATION FOR APPOINTMENT OF GUARDIAN OF ALLEGED INCOMPETENT. This form is used in the Probate Court of Summit County, Ohio, to initiate the legal process for appointing a guardian for an adult who is allegedly incompetent. The applicant—who may be a family member, caregiver, or other interested party—requests that the court appoint a guardian to make decisions on behalf of the proposed ward due to a condition that renders the person unable to manage their personal or financial affairs. The form requires details such as the ward's residence, age, reason for alleged incompetency, estimated value of the ward’s estate, and whether the guardianship sought is for the person, the estate, or both. It also includes information about the applicant’s relationship to the ward, whether any prior legal charges exist, and whether a guardian has already been nominated by the ward in a legal document. Supporting documents such as a Statement of Expert Evaluation and a list of next of kin must be attached. www.FormsWorkflow.com
