Bill > HB06818

This bill amends existing Connecticut probate court procedures to enhance family notification when a conservatorship application is filed. Specifically, the bill requires the Probate Court to personally serve a copy of a conservatorship application to certain adult family members of the person for whom the conservatorship is being sought, including parents, siblings, and children who are 18 years or older. In addition to providing the application documents, the court must also inform these family members about the potential consequences of a conservatorship, as outlined in a related state statute. The purpose of this legislation is to increase transparency and ensure that family members are fully informed and aware of the legal proceedings that could significantly impact their relative's financial and personal autonomy. By mandating personal service and comprehensive information sharing, the bill aims to protect the interests of individuals who may be subject to a conservatorship and keep their close family members actively engaged in the process.
