Notice

Whoever is seeking guardianship or conservatorship has to give notice of the proceeding to certain individuals. Previously, the alleged incapacitated person got notice, along with their spouse and children, or if none, parents, brothers and sisters. Under the UPC, the courts now require that additional people receive notice: anyone appointed under a power of attorney or health care proxy; anyone who has been living with the individual or anyone else named in the petition.
