This final judgment addresses the ongoing dispute among Jennie Carey's adult children regarding her guardianship for personal care and property.
Jennie, 91 and suffering from dementia, was found incapable of making her own decisions.
The court's interim decision had appointed Robert and Arthur as co-guardians for personal care, and Robert, Arthur, and Edward as co-guardians for property.
However, due to severe animosity and unilateral actions by both Robert and Arthur, the co-guardians were unable to cooperate.
The court found Arthur's financial conduct inexcusable and Robert's unilateral care plans not in Jennie's best interest.
Consequently, the court restructured the guardianship: Robert Carey was appointed sole guardian for Jennie's property, while Arthur Carey and Edward Carey were appointed co-guardians for Jennie's personal care.
The decision emphasizes the need for guardians to prioritize the incapable person's best interests over personal conflicts.
