Full Question:
Answer:
An adult child can not legally force a parent to grant the child the parents power of attorney. A guardian may be appointed for any person defined as incapacitated. Determination of incapacity can be established by satisfactory evidence.
The probate court has jurisdiction over all matters of guardianship. Venue for the appointment of a guardian is in the county of the wards domicile, or if not domiciled in the state, venue is in the county of the ward's residence. If none of the above apply, then venue shall be in the county in which the ward's property is situated. Section 28- 65-203 of the Arkansas Code outlines the individuals qualified to be appointed guardian. Generally, a natural person of eighteen-years of age who resides in the state of sound mind and not a convicted or unpardoned felon may be appointed as a guardian.
