Form GC-310: Petition for Appointment of Probate Conservator

Form GC-310 is the starting document of every probate conservatorship: it asks the court to appoint a conservator, identifies the proposed conservatee and petitioner, states which powers are requested (person, estate, or both), and explains why the conservatorship is needed.

Who Files It and When

The person seeking appointment as conservator – or any relative or friend petitioning on behalf of a proposed conservator – files GC-310 to open the case in the probate division.

Common Mistakes

Leaving the “powers requested” attachments incomplete, and mismatching names across the packet – the court examiner checks every page against this petition. GC-310 is filed together with GC-312, GC-314, GC-320, and GC-020.
