Article Title
Abstract
Using several case studies, the author describes the possible difficulties in representing adult clients with diminished capacity, either as an attorney or as a guardian ad litem. Varying qualifications for a GAL, determination of when an appointment is proper, and guidelines for performance are discussed along with the different standards that may be employed for the decisions that are made.
