Request for written notice of proceedings and pleadings;
determination of interest; failure to comply with request
Sec. 3. (a) At any time after the appointment of a guardian or the
issuance of a protective order, any person may, in person or by the
person's attorney, serve upon the guardian or the guardian's attorney,
and file with the clerk of the court where the proceedings are
pending, a written request together with a written admission or proof
of service stating that the person desires written notice of all hearings
and copies of all pleadings or other papers in connection with:
(1) the settlement of accounts;
(2) the sale, mortgage, lease, or exchange of any property of the
protected person;
(3) allowances of any nature payable from the protected
person's property;
(4) the investment of funds of the protected person;
(5) the removal, suspension, or discharge of the guardian;
(6) the final termination of the guardianship; or
(7) any other notice or matter as specified in the request.
The applicant requesting special notice must include in the written
request the applicant's post office address or that of the applicant's
attorney. The court may determine that any person requesting notice
under this section has no interest in the proceeding, either generally
or with respect to a particular matter, and is not entitled to the notice
requested. Unless the court otherwise directs, upon filing the request,
the guardian or the guardian's attorney shall comply with the request.
(b) Failure to comply with a request for notice under this section
does not affect the validity of the proceeding.
