Order On Petition For Adjudication Of Incompetence {SP-202}

AOC-SP-202 - ORDER ON PETITION FOR ADJUDICATION OF INCOMPETENCE. This form is used by North Carolina courts in proceedings to decide if an individual is legally incompetent, meaning unable to manage personal or financial affairs due to mental or physical impairments. It records jurisdiction, the presence of evidence, and whether a hearing or jury found the respondent to be incompetent. If incompetence is confirmed, the court may order the appointment of a guardian. The form also considers whether the respondent can retain driving privileges, if costs should be covered due to indigency, and if less restrictive alternatives to guardianship were considered. The court clerk certifies and files the completed order, which may also be sent to the Division of Motor Vehicles or another county if the respondent lives outside the jurisdiction. G.S. 35A-1112, -1116, -1120, -1205; 35B-17. www.FormsWorkflow.com
