Dear Ms. Strasbaugh: r ~~ o
,..
In connection with the above referenced matter and the hearing to be held on
March 23rd at 11 A.M., please accept this letter as the mandatory notice that counsel has
not been retained for the alleged incapacitated person. The alleged incapacitated person
is a 22 year old female with cerebral palsy and mild retardation. My client, Denise
Palmer, who is the Petitioner and the mother of the alleged I.P., seeks Plenary
Guardianship of the person and estate of her daughter. The alleged I.P., due to her
medical and mental condition, is:
• Unable to manage her financial affairs;
• Unable to make and communicate responsible decisions relating to her financial
affairs;
• Unable to communicate her need for assistance with regard to her financial affairs;
• Unable to make responsible decisions concerning her person, health, welfare, and
safety;
• Unable to communicate her needs concerning her health, welfare, and safety;
• Unable to reside alone;
• Unable to provide for her personal safety;
• Unable to care for her residence;
• Unable to keep herself properly nourished and hydrated;
• Unable to tend to her personal hygiene;
• Unable to clothe herself;
• Unable to medicate herself;

Brittany Nicole Palmer Guardianship Petition
March 11, 2011
• Unable to make responsible decisions with regard to her medical care, including,
but not limited to, obtaining health-care services and entering herself into a
hospital, convalescent home, skilled care facility, residential care facility, or
similar institution.
All less restrictive alternatives to the appointment of a guardian of the person have been
considered.
In light of the foregoing it does not appear that this guardianship petition is controversial
and there does not seem to be any indication that counsel for the alleged I.P. would be warranted;
however, if the court believes that it is warranted, we request that the court appoint pro bono
counsel to the alleged I.P. for this proceeding.
Very truly yours,
~~
Michael C. Giordano
Attorney for the Petitioner
