The outcome of this proceeding may limit or completely take away your right to make decisions about your personal affairs during the emergency guardianship. Appointment of an emergency guardian is NOT a determination of your incapacity. The authority of an emergency guardian is limited to sixty (60) days. If the court appoints an emergency guardian, it will also appoint an attorney to represent you throughout the emergency guardianship proceedings. You have the right to be represented by an attorney of your choice at your own expense. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you at State expense to represent you throughout the emergency proceedings. You may request a professional evaluation of your condition. You have the right to present evidence and subpoena witnesses and documents; examine witnesses, including any courtappointed physician, psychologist, or other qualified individual providing evaluations, and the court visitor; and otherwise participate in the hearing. You may ask that the hearing be held in a manner that reasonably accommodates you. You have the right to request that the hearing be closed, but the hearing may not be closed over your objection. If you are not present at the hearing, you will be given notice of the appointment of an emergency guardian within forty-eight (48) hours after the appointment. You have the right to request a hearing on the appropriateness of the appointment of an emergency guardian. If you do so, such hearing will be held within ten (10) days after the court receives your request. (§15-14-312(2), C.R.S.)
