Authority of Court to Appoint Guardian Instead of Creating Trust

If, after a hearing under Section 1301.054 (Creation of Trust for Incapacitated Person Without Guardian), the court finds that the person for whom the application was filed is an incapacitated person but that it is not in the incapacitated person’s best interests for the court to create a trust under this subchapter for the incapacitated person’s estate, the court may appoint a guardian of the person or estate, or both, for the incapacitated person without commencing a separate proceeding for that purpose.
