Holding
The court held that a superior court lacks jurisdiction to adjudicate a person incompetent and appoint a guardian of their estate without providing the statutorily mandated five-day notice, and that such a jurisdictional defect cannot be waived by the purported incompetent, rendering the resulting guardianship orders void.
