When looking to establish a conservatorship or protective order in a protective proceeding, there is a form which you will need to fill out and file with the probate court. This State Court Administrative Office form is known as the Petition for Appointment of Conservator. The Petition for Appointment of Conservator form can be found by clicking here.
Most of these State Court Administrative Office forms are associated with Michigan Court Rules and statutes. The Petition for Appointment of Conservator form is no different.
The Petition for Appointment of Conservator form is associated with MCL 700.5404, which states:
(1) The individual to be protected, a person who is interested in the individual’s estate, affairs, or welfare, including a parent, guardian, or custodian, or a person who would be adversely affected by lack of effective management of the individual’s property and business affairs may petition for a conservator’s appointment or for another appropriate protective order.
(2) The petition must set forth to the extent known the petitioner’s interest; the name, age, residence, and address of the individual to be protected; the name and address of the guardian, if any; the name and address of the nearest relative known to the petitioner; a general statement of the individual’s property with an estimate of the value of the property, including compensation, insurance, a pension, or an allowance to which the individual is entitled; and the reason why a conservator’s appointment or another protective order is necessary. If a conservator’s appointment is requested, the petition shall also set forth the name and address of the person whose appointment is sought and the basis of the claim to priority for appointment.
In addition to this statute, the Petition Regarding Real Estate form is associated with MCL 700.5104(2), MCL 700.5215(a), MCL 700.5314(b), MCL 700.5401, MCR 3.206(A)(4), MCR 5.105(C) and MCR 5.125(C)(24). These are accessible by clicking on the MCL or MCR number. To help you understand this form better, Darren Findling of The Probate Pro covers everything you’ll need to know in this video.
