Father Removed as Guardian for Misconduct

It was not an abuse of discretion for the Orphans’ Court to remove the father of the incapacitated person as guardian when the father had failed to provide financial information and turn over assets to a successor guardian as ordered by the court, had been verbally aggressive and uncooperative with the son’s caregivers, and had commingled his son’s assets with his own. It was also not an abuse of discretion to deny the father’s request for a continuance when he had had three months to prepare for the hearing on his petition and the continuance would not be in the best interests of his son. In re: Estate of E.C.P., an Incapacitated Person, 1 Fid.Rep.4th 451 (Bucks O.C. 2023), on appeal, 2357 EDA 2023 (Pa. Super.)
