Yes, under the law, when a person’s assets are $25,000 or less and there is no one else to serve, the OSG can be appointed. If the person’s estate is valued at more than $25,000, the County Public Guardian (in counties that have one) may take the case. If the County Guardian decides not to take the case, and there is no one else to serve, the Office of State Guardian will be appointed.
