person under guardianship,
(b) there is no undue conflict between the
interests (particularly, the financial interests) of the proposed guardian and
those of the person under guardianship, and
(c) the proposed guardian is both
willing and able to exercise the functions conferred or imposed by the
proposed guardianship order.
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply to the
appointment of the Public Guardian as the guardian of a

it is appropriate that a further guardianship order should be made with
respect to the person under guardianship, and
