Guardianship: Disability: Evidentiary basis
Cons. with Andreas Konopka v. Uma Ahluwalia
CSA Nos. 2502 & 2507 (Consol.), Sept. Term 2013. Unreported.
Opinion by Kehoe, J. Filed Sept. 17, 2014.
Appeal from Montgomery County. Affirmed.
RecordFax #14-0917-01, 18 pages.
Husband’s petitions for guardianship of his disabled wife and autistic adult son precluded his challenge to the sufficiency of evidence of disability; the court’s appointment of other guardians was not precluded by a durable power of attorney signed by wife, nor by the constitutional right to parent a minor child; and the appointments were supported by evidence that husband had neglected wife and son’s needs and did not fully appreciate the extent of son’s disabilities.
