Superseded in part. This rule no longer governs guardianship of minors. A.M. No. 03-02-05-SC, the Rule on Guardianship of Minors (effective May 1, 2003), amends Rules 92 to 97 of the Rules of Court in that respect; its Section 27 provides that guardianship of incompetents who are not minors shall continue to be governed by the Rules of Court. Read the text below as the rule for guardianship of incompetents; where the ward is a minor, the 2003 Rule governs.
