(a) The person to be protected, a person's attorney or other legal representative, any person who is interested in the estate, affairs, or welfare of the person to be protected, including a parent, guardian, custodian, or caregiver, the Department of Health and Social Services, or any person who would be adversely affected by lack of effective management of the property and affairs of the person to be protected, may petition for the appointment of a conservator or for other appropriate protective order.
(b) The petition must set out to the extent known, the interest of the petitioner; the name, age, residence and address of the person to be protected; the name and address of the person's guardian, if any; the name and address of the person's nearest relative known to the petitioner; a general statement of the person's property with an estimate of its value, including any compensation, insurance, pension or allowance to which the person is entitled; and the reason why appointment of a conservator or other protective order is necessary.
