SB 104 - This act provides that in guardianship and conservator proceedings, a court must determine that the incapacitated or disabled person's choice, spouse, or family member is deficient in his or her ability to serve prior to selecting a third person as a guardian of the incapacitated person or conservator of a disabled person. If there is a claim that a person is deficient because of the living conditions, then the court shall require an investigation by the Department of Health and Senior Services of the living conditions. A court must also make a determination that the living conditions are dangerous or unsanitary prior to making the finding that a person is deficient for the purposes of guardianship. The act is substantially similar to SB 1083 (2016). JESSI BAKER
