AI Summary

This bill further regulates the appointment of certain guardians. It amends the existing law to establish a presumption that the spouse, parent(s), or a person nominated by the spouse or parent(s) is the proper person to be appointed as the guardian of an incapacitated person, unless this presumption is rebutted by competent evidence. The bill also allows a spouse or parent(s) to freely designate a third party to serve as the guardian, and in such cases, the designated party shall be presumed to be the proper person for appointment, unless this presumption is rebutted.
