The Wisconsin Petition for Appointment of Guardian/Notice of Hearing is a court form used to initiate a guardianship proceeding in the state of Wisconsin. This document is used when an individual has become incapacitated and requires a guardian to make decisions on their behalf. The petition is filed by the individual or their family member in the county in which the individual resides. The petition must include a list of the individual's assets, a list of possible guardians, and an explanation of why guardianship is being sought. The petition also includes a Notice of Hearing, which is sent to the individual and other interested parties, informing them of the date and time of the hearing to appoint a guardian. There are two types of Wisconsin Petition for Appointment of Guardian/Notice of Hearing: one for a minor and one for an adult. The petition for a minor requires additional information, such as the minor's parents' names and whereabouts, the reasons' guardianship is being sought, and a statement of the minor's best interest. The petition for an adult must be accompanied by a statement from a physician or other qualified person that the individual is unable to manage their affairs due to physical or mental disability.
