I have examined the alleged incapacitated person, Charlotte K. Robson, with care and diligence. Based upon said examination and observation, I am of the opinion that she is incompetent to manage her own affairs and that there is no expectation of her recovery within a reasonable medical certainty. In addition, it is my opinion that no useful purpose would be served by Ms. Robson's appearance at a hearing to adjudicate her competency and, in fact, attendance at such a hearing could well be adverse to her well-being.
