Both documents...Duration of incapacity: Permanent.
That's whats stated in the documents. What does this mean?

I see it. I think it's legal effect is an assertion by both parties than Mae will have a guardian until she petitions a court and shows that she does not need a guardian.

I take it you hold that the words "The duration of the incapacity will be permanent," appearing on page 3 of the respective Petitions for the Appointment of an Emergency Guardian for an Alleged Gravely Incapacitated Adult, are a medical prognosis.

That's how I would "construe" it. ;-)
