Adult Guardianship and Conservatorship of T.

Summary

The court affirmed the appointment of the Department of Health and Human Services as T.'s full guardian and conservator. It held that the statutory statement that an emergency appointment does not establish the requirements for a full guardianship does not bar consideration of evidence from the emergency hearing at the final hearing. Because the same judge heard both hearings, the emergency and final hearings constituted a unified proceeding, and the judge could consider the earlier testimony in deciding the petition.
