When the Family Court is not present in the ward's address, typically, a district court or a branch court has jurisdiction over the matter.  

Typically, after an evaluation of the ward's health by a doctor, the court proceedings begin. The court will often question the ward and hear his/her testimony regarding the guardianship.
