With regard to matters concerning motion for a declaration of commencement of guardianship or concerning the annulment of guardianship, the person who is or should be subject to the declaration of commencement of guardianship shall have the capacity to represent oneself in the proceedings. However, where the said person does not have disposing capacity, the court shall, on its own initiative, designate a guardian ad litem to act in the proceeding.
