IN RE: the GUARDIANSHIP and Conservatorship OF T.G.P.C. (2021)

Supreme Court of North Dakota.

IN RE: the GUARDIANSHIP and Conservatorship OF T.G.P.C., an incapacitated person J.P.C., Petitioner v. Guardian and Protective Services, Inc., successor guardian and conservator; Respondent T.G.P.C., ward, Respondent and Appellee T.P.C. and L.P.C., Interested Parties and Appellants

No. 20210121

Decided: November 26, 2021

Theresa L. Kellington, Bismarck, ND, for interested parties and appellants; submitted on brief. Jesse Walstad, Bismarck, ND, for respondent and appellee.

[¶1] T.P.C. and L.P.C. appeal from the “Findings of Fact and Order Reappointing Guardian and Conservatorship and Continuing Guardianship Following Review and Denying Petitioners Request in Full.” They argue the district court abused its discretion in denying their motion to remove Guardian and Protective Services, Inc. (“GaPS”) as guardian and conservator. Additionally, they argue the court abused its discretion by not appointing them as co-guardians and co-conservators because they had statutory priority. We conclude the court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion and reappointing GaPS. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4).

Per Curiam.

[¶2] Jon J. Jensen, C.J. Gerald W. VandeWalle Lisa Fair McEvers Jerod E. Tufte Carol Ronning Kapsner, S.J.[¶3] The Honorable Carol Ronning Kapsner, S.J., sitting in place of Crothers, J., disqualified.
