The Court shall hold a hearing upon the petition for the appointment of a guardian for a person with an alleged disability, unless all interested parties as defined in Rule 175(a)(3) provide written consent to the petition prior to the hearing and the petitioner is represented by counsel. The Court, in its discretion, may require that the person with an alleged disability be produced at the time of such hearing. If there is no objection to the petition at the hearing, the Court may grant it without requiring the petitioner to present other evidence. If there is objection to the petition, the Court will receive evidence at the hearing or, for good cause, adjourn the hearing to another date for the reception of evidence.
