AS 13.26.415. Original Petition For Appointment or Protective Order.

   (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, 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. If the appointment of a conservator is requested, the petition also must set out the name and address of the person whose appointment is sought and the basis of priority for appointment.
   (c) The petition may include a request for temporary conservatorship as provided in AS 13.26.445 if it appears that the respondent's property is likely to be wasted or dissipated during the pendency of the conservatorship proceeding. A request for temporary conservatorship must specify the facts that cause the petitioner to believe that a temporary conservatorship is necessary.
