AN ACT CONCERNING THE REQUIRED NOTICE TO BE PROVIDED BY THE PROBATE COURT TO FAMILY MEMBERS UPON THE FILING OF AN APPLICATION FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF A CONSERVATOR OF THE PERSON.

HB 6819 requires probate courts to personally deliver a copy of a conservatorship application to a person’s parents, siblings, and children who are 18 or older before making a decision. It also mandates that courts inform these family members about the consequences of appointing a conservator (someone to make personal decisions for an individual). The bill directly affects family members of the person seeking conservatorship by ensuring they receive notice and clear information about the process. This change aims to increase transparency and family involvement in conservatorship decisions.
