How do you declare someone financially incompetent?

To declare someone financially incompetent, a legal process typically begins with filing a petition in a court, often involving documentation that demonstrates the individual's inability to manage their financial affairs. This may include medical evaluations, financial records, and testimonies from family members or professionals. A hearing is then held, allowing the individual to present their case, after which the court makes a determination based on the evidence presented. If declared incompetent, a guardian or conservator may be appointed to manage the person's financial matters.
