The applicant, the mother of a severely disabled adult, sought appointment as guardian of property for her son who suffered a traumatic brain injury from a fall in 2014 when he was not yet seven years old.
The court found the son incapable of managing property based on a capacity assessment and appointed the mother as guardian.
The court determined that no less restrictive alternative was feasible given the son's significant cognitive limitations and that the mother's lifelong devotion to his care and detailed management plan made her an appropriate guardian.
