Relative to further regulating the appointment of certain guardians by the Probate Court. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill seeks to further regulate the appointment of certain guardians by the Probate Court. It amends the General Laws to establish a presumption that certain individuals, such as the spouse, parent(s), or a person nominated by the incapacitated person's spouse, are the proper persons to be appointed as guardians, unless this presumption is rebutted by competent evidence. The bill also allows a spouse, parent, or parents to freely designate a third party to serve as the guardian without prejudice, and in such cases, the designated party shall be presumed to be the proper person for appointment, unless this presumption is rebutted.
