S-18-0785 In re Guardianship of Suzette G.

Douglas County Court, Judge Marcena Hendrix

Attorneys: James Walter Crampton (for Appellant, Suzette G.); Jayne Wagner and Emily J. Briski (Legal Aid of Nebraska, for Appellee)

Civil: Guardianship

Proceedings below: The trial court found that Appellant was an incapacitated adult in need of a guardian and that Appellee should be appointed as her limited guardian with medical power only.

Issues: Whether the trial court erred in finding that Appellee showed by clear and convincing evidence that Appellee should be appointed limited guardian for Appellant, whether the Guardian ad Litem (GAL) acted properly as an advocate and a witness, and whether the trial court erred in permitting the GAL’s testimony.
