    On the 3rd day of  NOV ,    2023, at 9:30 a.m. in the Kosciusko Circuit/Superior No. 1 Court at 121 N. Lake Street, Warsaw, IN, the Kosciusko Circuit/Superior No. 1 Court will hold a hearing to determine whether a Guardian  should  be appointed for L.A.S., a child born to Autumn Brittany Stahl in December 2015.  A copy of the Petition  filed herein requesting appointment  of a Guardian  is attached to this notice.

    At the hearing, the Court will determine whether L.A.S. is an incapacitated  person or minor under Indiana law.  This proceeding may substantially affect the rights of L.A.S. and his/her parents.

    If the Court finds that L.A.S. is an incapacitated person or minor, the Court shall, at said hearing, also consider whether Teresa Coleman, of Pierceton, Indiana should be appointed as Guardian of the person of L.A.S. The Court may, in its discretion, appoint some other qualified person or institution as Guardian.  The Court may also, in its discretion, limit the powers and duties of the Guardian to allow L.A.S. to retain control over certain property and activities.   

    The Court may also determine whether a protective order should be entered on behalf of L.A.S.

    L.A.S. may attend the hearing  and be represented by an attorney.       The Petition may be heard and determined  in L.A.S.'s  absence  if the Court determines that the presence  of L.A.S. is not required.   If L.A.S. attends the hearing, opposes  the Petition, and is not represented  by an attorney,  the Court may appoint an attorney to represent  L.A.S. The Court may, where required,  appoint a Guardian ad litem to represent L.A.S. at the hearing.

    The Court may, on its own motion or on request of any interested  person, postpone the hearing to another date and time.
