Obtaining Guardianship. Guardianship laws for adults are complex and vary from state to state but, in general, a guardian can be appointed in one of two ways: under a will or via a court order. A guardian is appointed in a will when the previous guardian names a new guardian in his will and the previous guardian dies. If the new guardian accepts the appointment, guardianship of the adult child passes to that person. Not all states recognize this method of assigning guardianship.
Once the world's biggest maker of mobile phones, the Finnish firm was wrongfooted by the rise of smartphones and eclipsed by Apple and Samsung. It sold its handset business to Microsoft in late 2013 and has since focused squarely on making telecoms network equipment. Now Nokia boss Rajeev Suri is planning a comeback.
This is stark contrast to its previous handset business which in its heyday manufactured more phones than any other company in the world and employed tens of thousands. Suri said last month that Nokia aimed to re-enter the mobile phone business, but only through such licensing agreements. It will not fall back on the traditional methods, said the CEO, who took the helm last May and has turned it into a slimmed down, more profitable company.
