✩ In re: Copelan - Adult Guardianship Petition
Posted: July 31st, 2001 by Gaslowitz Frankel LLCIn this case, several children petitioned the probate court to appoint a guardian for their mother due to alleged mental disability and undue influence over their mother by some of their siblings. The appellate court held1 that susceptibility to undue influence, without more independent evidence of mental incompetence, besides susceptibility, does not satisfy the legal requirement that lack of capacity for the appointment of a guardian must be proved by clear and convincing evidence.1 250 Ga. App. 856, 553 S.E.2d 278 (2001)
