MI HB4677

Amends Michigan's Estates and Protected Individuals Code to add "supported decision-making" as an alternative to full guardianship that courts must inform petitioners about before filing for guardian appointment

Defines supported decision-making as a process where incapacitated individuals work with friends, family members, and professionals to understand situations and choices, enabling them to make their own decisions

Requires courts to provide written information about guardianship alternatives including limited guardians, conservators, patient advocate designations, do-not-resuscitate orders, physician orders for scope of treatment, durable power of attorney, and now supported decision-making

Maintains existing requirements that guardianship petitions must contain specific facts about the individual's condition and recent conduct demonstrating the need for appointment
