IMPORTANT NOTICE
CITATION WITH NOTICE
A petition has been filed with this Court to have you declared an Incapacitated Person. If the Court
finds you to be an Incapacitated Person, your rights will be affected, including our right to manage money
and property and to make decisions. A copy of the petition which has been filed by
HAROID S. IRWIN, III is attached.
You are hereby ordered to appear at a hearing to be held in Court Room No. 2 , Cumberland
County Courthouse, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, on AUGUST 27 , 200~, at 3:30 P.M. to
tell the Court why it should not find you to be an Incapacitated Person and appoint a Guardian to act on
your behalf.
To be an Incapacitated Person means that you are not able to receive and effectively
evaluate information and communicate decisions and that you are unable to manage your
money and/or other property, or to make necessary decisions about where you will live,
what medical care you will get, or how your money will be spent.
At the hearing, you have the right to appear, to be represented by an attorney, and
to request a jury trial. If you do not have an attorney, you have the right to request the
Court to appoint an attorney to represent you and to have the attorney's fees paid for you
if you cannot afford to pay them yourself. You also have the right to request that the Court
order that an independent evaluation be conducted as to your alleged incapacity.
If the Court decides that you are an Incapacitated Person, the Court may appoint a
Guardian for you, based on the nature of any condition or disability and your capacity to
.~J -
':''--'''''''.
J '.
make and communicate decisions. The Guardian will be of your person and/or your money
and other property and will have either limited or full powers to act for you.
If the court finds you are totally incapacitated, your legal rights will be affected and
you will not be able to make a contract or gift of your money or other property. If the court
finds that you are partially incapacitated, your legal rights will also be limited as directed
by the Court.
If you do not appear at the hearing (either in person or by an attorney representing you) the court
will still hold the hearing in your absence and may appoint the Guardian requested.

am a licensed physician in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania employed by Claremont
Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. t have examined the alleged incapacitated person,
William W. St. John, with care and diligence. Based upon said examination and
observation, I am of the opinion that he is incompetent to manage his own affairs and
that there is no expectation of his recovery within a reasonable medical certainty. In
addition, it is my opinion that no useful purpose would be served by Mr. St. John's
appearance at 8 hearing to adjudicate his competency and. in fact, attendance at such
a hearing could we" be adverse to his well-being.

personalty of like nature (not including cash or securities), together with any
existing insurance thereon, unto my wife, MILDRED L. ST. JOHN, if she survives
