In Re Guardianship of Llgreen
indctapp · 2001 · cited in 4 Indiana opinions naming this issue, 2002–2015
2 sentences

2015In In re Guardianship of L.L., 745 N.E.2d 222, 227 (Ind.Ct.App.2001), trans. denied, we recognized that when "a guardianship proceeding ... is, in essence, a child custody proceeding that raises important concerns about parental rights, and the 'best interests’ of children,” we generally apply "a more detailed test than might arguably be required by the plain language of the [guardianship] statute.” 3 .

2013Under Ind. Code § 29-3-5-3 , a trial court may appoint a guardian to a minor if “the appointment of a guardian is necessary as a means of providing care and supervision of 7 the physical person or property of the . . . minor.” With respect to the termination of a guardianship, Ind. Code § 29-3-12-1 (c) provides that a trial court may terminate any guardianship if “the guardianship is no longer necessary for any other reason.” “In determining whether a guardianship should be terminated, however, we have generally applied a more detailed test than required by the plain language of the statute.”
