§ 1755. Modification order

Any person who is intellectually disabled or person who is

developmentally disabled eighteen years of age or older, or any person

on behalf of any person who is intellectually disabled or person who is

developmental disabled for whom a guardian has been appointed, may apply

to the court having jurisdiction over the guardianship order requesting

modification of such order in order to protect the person who is

intellectually disabled's, or person who is developmentally disabled's

financial situation and/or his or her personal interests. The court may,

upon receipt of any such request to modify the guardianship order,

appoint a guardian ad litem. The court shall so modify the guardianship

order if in its judgment the interests of the guardian are adverse to

those of the person who is intellectually disabled or person who is

developmentally disabled or if the interests of justice will be best

served including, but not limited to, facts showing the necessity for

protecting the personal and/or financial interests of the person who is

intellectually disabled or person who is developmentally disabled.
