This bill updates laws about guardianships and conservatorships, which are legal arrangements for managing the affairs of adults who cannot do so themselves. It changes how these cases can be moved from probate court to circuit court and updates rules for giving notice about these cases. The bill also requires special training for guardians ad litem (people appointed to represent the interests of the adult), defines their duties, and requires courts to appoint a court representative in most cases. Finally, it allows for the appointment of temporary or emergency guardians and conservators to prevent harm to an adult's health, safety, or finances, and lets the court penalize those who improperly request these temporary appointments.
