HB 4633 amends Michigan's probate code to strengthen rights and information for individuals alleged to be incapacitated during guardianship proceedings. It requires court-appointed guardians ad litem to explain key rights, including the right to contest the petition, request limits on a guardian's powers (especially regarding do-not-resuscitate orders or physician treatment orders), and the right to legal counsel. The bill mandates that if an individual requests legal representation or the guardian ad litem determines it's necessary, the court must appoint counsel at state expense if the individual is indigent. This directly affects people facing guardianship hearings, ensuring they receive clear information about their medical directives and legal options before a guardian is appointed.
