This form allows a judge to order healthcare providers to release a person's private medical records to a court investigator without notifying the person whose records are being shared, which is permitted under federal privacy laws in conservatorship cases. Conservatorship attorneys and court investigators use this form to obtain medical information needed to assess whether someone should be placed under court-ordered guardianship or conservatorship.
