Case Importance
Case Details
(The syllabus is not part of the opinion, but is a summary prepared by the court reporter as a convenience.)Because the existing law did not meet constitutional requirements, the court determined that in all guardianship cases the court must consider whether a limited guardianship is appropriate, apply a clear and convincing standard as the burden of proof and place the burden of persuasion that a guardianship is necessary on the guardian.
