IN RE: HAZEL LEAHY
AN ALLEGED INCOMPETENT
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
ORPHANS' COURT DIVISION
171 ORPHANS' 1978
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, April 13, 1978, at 1:30 p.m., after a hearing
held this date, at which hearing Hazel Leahy, the alleged
incompetent, was present and testified, the court finds upon
good cause that Hazel Leahy is incompetent within the meaning
of Section 5501 of the Decedents, Estates and Fiduciaries
Code, 20 P.S. 5501.
Patricia Shively, the daughter of Hazel Leahy, who
resides at R.D. 7, Box 131, Carlisle, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, is hereby appointed the guardian of the person
of Hazel Leahy and of her estate.
From the testimony at the hearing, it was shown that the
total assets of the alleged incompetent, Hazel Leahy, consist
of a 1974 Hornet automobile, valued at approximately $1,500,
a checking account at Farmers Trust Company, Carlisle,
Pennsylvania, in the amount of $262.86. In addition, Mrs. Leahy
receives $285 per month from social security.
Pursuant to Section 5536 of the above-mentioned Code,
Patricia Shively is authorized to expend all of the assets of
Hazel Leahy as may be required for her care and maintenance
without further court approval.
Because of the small amount of assets available to the
guardian, the guardian is excused from entering bond and from
filing any inventory or accounting.
By the Court,
