Alaska Supreme Court
Robert L. Farmer, Appellant v. Barbara Farmer, Appellee
May 14, 20102010 Alas. LEXIS 51
Summary
The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the appointment of Barbara Farmer as a partial limited conservator for Robert Farmer. It held that substantial evidence supported the finding that Robert could not effectively manage important financial matters and that his property required protection, and that the superior court sufficiently addressed the statutory requirements. The court also held that requiring Robert to vacate the home and authorizing management of sale proceeds was not an abuse of discretion under the least-restrictive-alternative requirement.
