Petition for Guardianship of the Property of Alleged Disabled Person - Stay of Civil Actions and Proceedings

HB 426 allows a party seeking guardianship of a person’s property (due to disability) to request a court to temporarily pause specific civil cases against that person. It requires the guardian applicant to notify all parties and the court, and limits the stay to 90 days or until guardianship is granted/denied. The bill directly affects people with disabilities whose property is under guardianship proceedings and creditors/landlords in pending cases like evictions, rent non-payment suits, or foreclosure. It mandates that legal notices for these paused cases must be served through the appointed guardian.
