Flynn v. Scott

RHODES RUSSELL, Presiding Judge.

Michael W. Flynn, purported guardian and conservator (“guardian”), appeals from a judgment of the trial court denying his motion to reopen a guardianship and conserva-torship proceeding in order to tax his fees as costs against the relatives of Wilmot Harry Scott (“ward”) who had initiated the proceeding. We affirm in that the appointment of guardian was void as the court lacked jurisdiction due to a failure to serve ward personally. No statutory authorization exists for compensation of an unauthorized guardian of award.

This is the third appeal by the parties…
