This is an appeal from orders of the District Court which adjudged appellant to be of unsound mind and harmless and appointed a committee of her person and estate.
Appellant is a woman 86 years, old. Appellee, her niece, filed a petition for a writ de lunático inquirendo and for appointment of a committee.
. Appellant’s counsel contends that appellee was not appellant’s “nearest relative or friend available”
Appellant’s counsel contends that the commitment was invalid because there were no findings that appellant was dangerous, unfit to be at large, and in need of treatment. No such findings are required.
