In Re Guardianship of Thomas C‪.‬

Grant County appeals an order appointing a successor guardian for Thomas C. The County claims that the trial court erroneously exercised its discretion, and exceeded its authority, when it ordered Thomass successor guardian to apply to become Thomass representative payee for social security benefits. The County also cites as error a provision in the order directing the guardian to remove Thomas "from any caretaker facility which is a creditor of the ward...." We conclude that the circuit court acted within its authority and discretion in ordering the guardian to seek to become representative payee, but that the remaining provisions in the order regarding removal of Thomas from his current or future placements are ambiguous and unnecessary. Accordingly, we modify the order by vacating its last three sentences, and as modified, we affirm.
