Summary

When a petition to appoint a guardian of the property of an alleged disabled person is filed, the petitioner may request a court‑ordered stay of specific civil actions such as rent‑payment suits, foreclosure, and sheriff’s sales. The law requires notice to all parties, limits the stay to 90 days, and ends it when a guardian is appointed or the petition is denied.
