§560:5-206.5 Judicial appointment of guardian; disability. The court shall not consider the disability of a prospective guardian to be the sole factor in the court's determination to approve or deny the appointment of a guardian pursuant to this part. If the court makes a determination to deny guardianship to a person who is disabled, the court shall make specific written findings stating the basis for this determination. The party attempting to demonstrate that the disability of a prospective guardian impairs the prospective guardian's ability to parent must prove that the disability is a factor, and demonstrate a clear nexus between the disability and the alleged parental deficiency. [L 2019, c 259, §3]
