County Court for Adams County, County Judge Michael O. Mead
Attorney for Appellant: Michael J Synek

Civil Action: Appointment of guardian and conservator
Action taken by the Trial Court: The trial court held a hearing on Ronald’s petition for appointment as guardian and conservator for his adult sister, Vickie. Following a hearing, the court appointed a third party as guardian and conservator, instead of Ronald.
Assignments of Error on Appeal, Restated, Reordered, and Consolidated: Did the trial court err in considering information in a guardian ad litem report which was not offered or received into evidence? Did the trial court err in appointing a third party as Vickie’s guardian and conservator instead of Ronald? Did the trial court err in appointing a third party as Vickie’s guardian and conservator without requiring the third party to submit the required background information checks?
