ORDER OF COURT v
AND NOW, this day of 46?0%1 , 2013, based upon the Petition for
Appointment of a Guardian pursuant to 20 Pa. C.S.A. 5511, and following a hearing,
the Court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the allegedly incapacitated
person, George Edward Snow II, is an incapacitated person in that, because of mental
retardation, he is unable to receive and evaluate information effectively and
communicate decisions sufficiently, and to such a degree that he is, unable to manage
his financial resources or to meet the essential requirements for his physical health and
safety. He is, therefore, adjudicated an incapacitated person, and Rebecca Wetzel is
appointed guardian of his property and person for the purpose of residential care and
education and the laws and regulations pertaining thereto as well as any other
documents or decisions relating to his continued care. The requirement of a bond is
waived and a summary of the Guardian's activities shall be filed annually pursuant tp
Section 5531.
