Any relative, state official, or other person may ask the court appoint a guardian. If you are the person whom is alleged to be incompetent, you must be informed of the petition for appointment of a guardian and of the scheduled time for hearing. The court will appoint a guardian ad litem to interview you and others, investigate, and make a recommendation to the court as to if it is in your best interests to have a guardian. You also have the right to be represented by an attorney.
