What Does a Court Evaluator Actually Do?
I was recently appointed as a Court Evaluator in a guardianship case—essentially the court’s eyes and ears. My job is to independently investigate: speak with the alleged incapacitated person, review their income, assets, medical condition, medications, and overall circumstances. Then I prepare a full report and testify at the hearing.
As a Court Evaluator, I’m not anyone’s attorney—I'm an impartial observer. I can support or oppose the petition, weigh in on proposed guardians, ask questions at the hearing, and even call my own witnesses. Today, that meant visiting a nursing home to meet the individual at the center of the case. This role is crucial in helping the court make the right decision for someone who may not be able to speak for themselves.
