Lindquist v. Mathias et al., 1 CA-CV 2022-0213, 3/2/23

 

The Superior Court must first determine an individual is a vulnerable adult before it empowers an interested person to sue for damages on the vulnerable adult’s behalf under A.R.S. § 46-456(G).

The above-referenced section requires the court to make three findings before it grants an interested person’s petition to sue on behalf of a vulnerable adult.  The petitioner must qualify as an “interested person” under A.R.S. § 14-1201(33), the individual to be protected must be a “vulnerable adult,” and neither the vulnerable adult nor “a duly appointed conservator or personal representative” must have filed an action against the proposed defendant under A.R.S. § 46-456(B).  Lindquist v. Mathias et al., 1 CA-CV 2022-0213, 3/2/23.
