Where this section sits in the code

- Title 43A
hospitalization - Ajudication - Bond of guardian.
If after full examination and hearing the court shall determine
that a person is mentally incompetent, but that it is not necessary
to hospitalize him for treatment or for his own welfare, the welfare
of others or of the community, the judge of the district court must
issue an order adjudging the person to be mentally incompetent and
must appoint a guardian of his person and estate with the powers and
duties that are prescribed for the guardian of a minor. Every such
guardian has the care and custody of his ward, and the management of
all his estate, until such guardian is legally discharged. The
guardian shall give bond to the State of Oklahoma, in like manner
and with like conditions, as before prescribed with respect to the
guardian of a minor, provided that upon a finding by the district
court that:
1. The anticipated annual income to a ward for one (1) year
plus the value of the personal property of the ward is less than
Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000.00); and
2. The guardian of the ward is either a parent or a child of
the ward,
the court may order that a bond is not necessary.
In all other cases, except as provided in subsection A of
Section 776 of this title, a bond shall be required.
