Chapter 35A Incompetency and Guardianship

§ 35A-1214 Priorities for appointment

The clerk shall consider appointing a guardian according to the following order of priority: an individual recommended under G.S. 35A‑1212.1; an individual; a corporation; or a disinterested public agent. No public agent shall be appointed guardian until diligent efforts have been made to find an appropriate individual or corporation to serve as guardian, but in every instance the clerk shall base the appointment of a guardian or guardians on the best interest of the ward.
