The legislature hereby finds that the needs of persons with incapacities are as diverse and complex as they are unique to the individual. The current system of conservatorship and committee does not provide the necessary flexibility to meet these needs. Conservatorship which traditionally compromises person's rights only with respect to property frequently is insufficient to provide necessary relief. On the other hand, a committee, with its judicial finding of incompetence and the accompanying stigma and loss of civil rights, traditionally involves deprivation that is often excessive and unnecessary; Moreover, certain persons require some form of assistance in meeting their personal and property management needs but do not require either of these drastic remedies. The legislature finds that it is desirable for and beneficial to persons with incapacities to make available to them the least restrictive form of intervention which assists then in meeting their needs but, at the time, permits them to exercise the independence and self-determination of which they are capable. The legislature declares that it is the purpose of this act to promote the public welfare by establishing a guardianship system which is appropriate to satisfy either personal property management needs of an incapacitated, person in a manner tailored to the individual needs of that person, which takes in account the personal wishes, preferences and desires of the person, and which affords the person the greatest amount of independence and selfdetermination and participation in all the decisions affecting such person's life. § 81.02 Power to appoint a guardian of the person and/or property; stan dard for appointment. (a) The court may appoint guardian for a person if the court determines : 1. that the appointment is necessary to provide for the personal needs of that person, including food, clothing, shelter, health care, safety and/or to manage the property and financial affairs of that person; and 2. that the person agrees to the appointment, or that the person is incapacitated as defined in subdivision (b) of this section. In deciding whether the appointment is necessary, the court shall consider the report of the court evaluator, as required in paragraph five of subdivision (c) of section 81.09 of this article, and the sufficiency and reliability of available resources, as defined in subdivision (e) of section 81.03 of this article, to provide for personal needs or property management without the appointment of a guardian. Any guardian appointed der this article shall be granted only those powers which are necessary to provide for personal needs and/or property management of the incapac in such manner as appropriate to the individual and which shall constitute the least restrictive form of intervention, defined in subdivision (d) of section 81.03 of this article. (b). The determination of incapacity shall be based on clear and convincing evidence and shall consist of a determination that a person is likely to suffer harm because : 1. the person is unable to provide for personal needs and/or property management; and 2. the person cannot adequately understand and appreciate the nature (chor In reaching it's determinat ion, the court shall give primary consideration to the functional level and functional limitations of the person.
