When serving an adjudicated incompetent person, what is required?

Serving an adjudicated incompetent person involves specific legal requirements to ensure that the rights of the individual are protected. The correct approach is to serve both the guardian and the incompetent person separately. This is important because it ensures that the guardian, who is responsible for making legal and personal decisions on behalf of the incompetent person, is fully informed about the proceedings. At the same time, it is also vital to serve the incompetent person to comply with legal protocols and demonstrate that they are being provided with the opportunity to participate in legal matters.

By serving both parties, the process server fulfills the obligation to ensure that proper notice is given in a manner that respects the legal framework surrounding individuals who have been deemed incompetent. This dual service helps preserve the rights of the incompetent person while simultaneously engaging their appointed representative in the legal process.
