of an attorney. The information provided is basic, general information that does not fit all situations. It is the duty of each self-

represented individual to know what rules of court and law apply. For more information on the law, these forms, and free

Be Notified: After you file the papers, you will have to send a copy to the

protected person, their attorney, the guardian, and the same relatives who were

served with the original guardianship papers.

the judge understands why you need the court’s help.

 Notice of Hearing
