Additionally, the report may include a request for a guardianship bond. There are two types of New York Initial Report of Guardian: the Statutory Report and the Supplemental Report. The Statutory Report includes the forms and documents necessary to appoint a guardian, while the Supplemental Report is an additional form required for guardianship of an incapacitated adult.
