Holding
The court held that a guardianship proceeding initiated under former ยง 1764 of the Code of Civil Procedure was fatally defective for lack of jurisdiction where no notice was served upon the alleged incompetent person, rendering the subsequent appointment of a guardian void ab initio and subject to collateral attack at any time.
