Guardianship –Motion to terminate — Right to counsel
In 2011, the Circuit Court for Montgomery County appointed Susan Boyce as guardian of the person and property of her sister, Mary Joyce. Since that time, Ms. Joyce has made a series of unsuccessful efforts to terminate the guardianship. This appeal arises from proceedings that occurred in 2019. Ms. Joyce, representing herself, made a motion asking the court to appoint counsel to represent her for the purpose of pursuing termination of the guardianship. The court denied the motion. Ms. Joyce noted an appeal on her own behalf.
