Abstract
This Note examines whether definitions of incompetency and the procedures for obtaining objective evidence of incompetency for guardianship hearings adequately protect the interests of proposed wards. Three recommendations.are proposed: states should adopt a functional definition of incapacity, require all proposed wards to undergo pre-hearing standardized evaluations for functional deficits, and fund pre-hearing examinations.
