Guardianships and conservatorships; appointment; preliminary hearing. Requires that a preliminary hearing be held prior to the appointment of a guardian ad litem for or the conduct of any evaluations of a respondent for whom a petition to appoint a guardian or conservator has been filed. The purpose of the preliminary hearing is to determine whether such an appointment should be made or such evaluations should be conducted.

The bill also makes the respondent's estate responsible for fees and costs associated with the proceedings if a guardian or conservator is appointed.
