(PROPOSED) CONSERVATEE

NOTE: *   

  A copy of this Notice of Hearing—Guardianship or Conservatorship ("Notice") must be "served" on—delivered to—each person who 
has the right under the law to be notified of the date, time, place, and purpose of a court hearing in a guardianship or conservatorship.  
Copies of this Notice may be served by mail in most situations.  In a guardianship, however, copies of this Notice must sometimes be 
personally served on certain persons; and copies of this Notice may be personally served instead of served by mail in both 
guardianships and conservatorships.  The petitioner (the person who requested the court hearing) may not personally perform 
either service by mail or personal service, but must show the court that copies of this Notice have been served in a way the law 
allows.  The petitioner does this by arranging for someone else to perform the service and complete and sign a proof of service, 
which the petitioner then files with the original Notice.  
  This page contains a proof of service that may be used only to show service by mail.  To show personal service, each person who 
performs the service must complete and sign a proof of personal service, and each signed copy of that proof of service must be 
attached to this Notice when it is filed with the court..  You may use form GC-020(P) to show personal service of this Notice. 

* (This Note replaces the clerk's certificate of posting on prior versions of this form.  If notice by posting is desired, attach a copy of 

form GC-020(C), Clerk's Certificate of Posting Notice of Hearing—Guardianship or Conservatorship.  (See Prob. Code, § 2543(c).)
