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.
