Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Katie Ranes, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Greer, P.J., and Langholz and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Sandy, J. (9 pages)
A protected person appeals the district court order establishing a limited guardianship for him and appointing his mother as his limited guardian. He contends the evidence was insufficient to conclude that his decision-making capacity is so impaired that he is unable to care for his personal safety or provide necessities for himself. Consequently, he argues the district court erred in establishing a limited guardianship for him. OPINION HOLDS: Because we conclude substantial evidence supports the district court’s finding that a limited guardianship was necessary, we affirm.
