The probate code prescribes certain individuals that are required to receive notice of a guardianship
petition being filed. Typically, if it's an elderly person you are filing guardianship
for, then all of the children have to be notified; as well as their spouse. If it's children
that your filing a guardianship application for, then everyone over the age of twelve
- as far as siblings - and then any of the parents; whether they are involved or not,
are required to be notified. But there's a list in the probate code that lets you know
who needs to receive notice and how that notice is to be sent.
