Who can be at the hearing and who can speak to the judge?

Any of the people who were served with notice of the application (please see the list in Question 8) and any other person who the court agrees to hear may be present and may speak to the judge about the proposed order. The judge may require the proposed guardian to attend court and answer questions so that the judge can be sure that he or she is in fact a suitable person, a resident in Alberta, able to act in the best interests of the dependent adult, and not in a position of a conflict of interest.
