A Colorado Probate Ward Bill of Rights Initiative did not make the November 4, 2014 ballot in Colorado as an initiated state statute. The measure sought to provide a statutory process by which people could be declared incompetent to handle their financial affairs, a process for such persons to be provided with legal representation for any probate proceedings and guidelines for representation by an appointed legal representative and judicial conduct.[1][2]
Support
- Lisa Brumfield, primary proponent
- Peter Coulter, second proponent
Lisa Brumfiel and Peter Coulter were also proponents for the following 2014 initiatives:
Additionally, Coulter was a proponent for Colorado No Clemency for Death Penalty by Governor Initiative (2014).
Path to the ballot
Supporters would have had to gather 86,105 valid signatures by Monday, August 4 at 3:00 PM for the measure to appear on the ballot. While this proposed initiative had a ballot title set, its petition format was not approved making its placement on the 2014 ballot impossible.[3]
