Clarifies court authority to limit guardian restrictions on ward visitation and sets a 10-day court return for visitation matters.

The bill clarifies the power of the court to limit restrictions by guardians on visitation of wards by family and interested parties. It establishes a rebuttable presumption in favor of visitation, meaning visitation should only be denied if there is clear and convincing evidence that it is not in the best interest of the incapacitated individual. The court retains discretion to impose any limitations it deems appropriate, including supervised visitation.
