  • (a) A copy of a petition for guardianship and notice of the hearing on the petition must be served personally on the respondent. The notice must include a statement that the respondent must be physically present unless excused by the Court, inform the respondent of the respondent’s rights at the hearing, and include a description of the nature, purpose, and consequences of an appointment. A failure to serve the respondent with a notice substantially complying with this subsection precludes the Court from granting the petition.

  • (b) In a proceeding to establish a guardianship, notice of the hearing must be given to the persons listed in the petition. Failure to give notice under this subsection does not preclude the appointment of a guardian or the making of a protective order.

  • (c) Notice of the hearing on a petition for an order after appointment of a guardian, together with a copy of the petition, must be given to the ward, the guardian, and any other person the Court directs.

  • (d) A guardian shall give notice of the filing of the guardian’s report, together with a copy of the report, to the ward and any other person the Court directs. The notice must be delivered or sent within 14 days after the filing of the report.
