Guardianship — Interested party — Right to counsel
On November 9, 2020, after a four-day trial, the Circuit Court for Montgomery County appointed the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services (the “Department”) as guardian of Sylvia Sheath’s person and Randi Bocanegra as guardian of Ms. Sheath’s property, over the objection of Ms. Sheath’s only surviving child, Toney
Schloss. Mr. Schloss appealed, asserting a variety of legal, factual, and procedural errors.
