59-3056. Voluntary petition for appointment of conservator. An adult person for whom no guardian or conservator has been appointed, and who is not a proposed ward or a proposed conservatee may file in the district court of the county of residence of such person a verified petition requesting the appointment of a conservator for the petitioner. The petition shall include:

(a) The person's name, age, date of birth, address of permanent residence and present address or whereabouts, if different from the person's permanent residence;

If the proposed conservator is under contract with the Kansas guardianship program, the petition shall state that fact;

(d) a request that the court make a determination that there is a need for the appointment of a conservator and that the court appoint a conservator;

(e) the names and addresses of the relatives nearest in kinship to the person;

(f) the general character and probable value of the real and personal property, including the amount and sources of income, of the person;
