is hereby ordered and decreed that the Court hereby finds
that Alison L. Grinder suffers from dementia as was
evidenced by her testimony in court today that she was not
aware of her surroundings or time or why she was in the
courtroom and as a result Ms. Grinder is so severely
mentally impaired that she is unable to make, communicate,
or participate in any decision relating to her estate or
person. The Court hereby finds that Alison L. Grinder is
adjudicated totally incapacitated.
Elizabeth L. Grinder McLean, Timothy W. Grinder,
and Jonathan H. Grinder, which are Alison L. Grinder's
children, are hereby appointed plenary guardians of the
estate of Alison L. Grinder to manage and handle all aspects
of her estate, specifically including but not limited to,
all issues relating to her cash, checks, and any bank or
savings accounts held in her name, her stocks and bonds, her
personal property, her real estate, her life and other
insurance or annuity of which she is a beneficiary, her
entitlement to any governmental and non-governmental benefit
plans, federal, state, and local taxes, claims made or to be
made on behalf of her or against her, the execution of
documents, entry into contracts affecting her, and the
payment of reasonable compensation or costs to provide
services for her. Any appointed guardian herein under this
decree may act alone as a guardian. This is pursuant to an
agreement between all three children that each of them may
act alone as a guardian.
Alison L. Grinder has twenty days from the date of
this decree to file exceptions. Failure to file exceptions
within that time will result in this decree becoming final.
To the extent possible the three children of Ms. Grinder are
hereby ordered to advise Ms. Grinder of her right to appeal
and to petition to modify or terminate the guardianship by
copy of this decree and by the statement of rights that will
be attached hereto.
By the Court,
