For information regarding services which are available to individuals with mental illness.

The Probate Court assists with mentally ill patients when a Petition/Application for Hospitalization (pcm201.pdf) is filed with the Court requesting a transport order for an individual to be examined by a physician or licensed psychologist. A Supplemental Petition for Application for Hospitalization and Order for Examination (pcm209.pdf) is also required to be executed by the Petitioner.

If the Court receives a Petition/Application for Hospitalization (pcm201.pdf) and 2 Clinical Certificates (pcm208.pdf) from a hospital, the Court schedules a deferral conference and hearing. An attorney is appointed to represent an individual who is the subject of the Petition for the Court proceedings.

**NOTE:  Pursuant to Local Administrative Order 2004-02 the only pleadings accepted via facsimile in the Livingston County Probate and 44th Circuit Courts are pleadings regarding Mental Health Code proceedings.
