Court grants conservatorship for Jeremiah James Reed over medical and financial decisions
Summary
A judge granted a conservatorship request for Jeremiah James Reed after the petitioner (his mother) testified he has atypical autism and cannot manage medical or financial decisions; the court noted medical reports and signed the order.
At a Stewart County chancery session the court granted a conservatorship for Jeremiah James Reed after the petitioner, identified as his mother, testified Jeremiah has atypical autism and cannot make certain medical or financial decisions.
The mother described practical obstacles to obtaining care for Jeremiah, saying she could not, for example, speak to insurers or authorize dental or medical procedures. She told the court Jeremiah receives $1,233 in income as of Jan. 1 and that no one had contested the conservatorship petition. The court reviewed a medical report filed in November and, noting the case presented clear needs for conservatorship, said, "I will be happy to grant your request. I've already signed your order." The judge wished the family well and concluded the matter.
The transcript does not show a contested hearing or opposing testimony on the record for this conservatorship matter.
