Who can waive the right to notice of a hearing and consent to the relief requested in the petition?

The Waiver/Consent (Form PC561 (PDF)) may be made by

  • A legally competent person
  • On behalf of an interested person, whether competent or legally disabled, by an attorney who has previously filed a written appearance
