New York Initial Report (IP Guardianship) is a document used to initiate a guardianship for an incapacitated individual in the state of New York. It is typically filed by a guardian of the person or estate to request a court determination of incapacity and appointment of a guardian. The document contains information about the individual's assets, debts, and any current guardianship. It also includes information on the individual's family members and the proposed guardian. The document must be sworn to and notarized by the proposed guardian and filed with the court. There are two types of New York Initial Report (IP Guardianship): IP Guardianship for Adults and IP Guardianship for Minors. IP Guardianship for Adults is the guardianship created for an individual age eighteen or older who is incapacitated, while IP Guardianship for Minors is a guardianship created for a minor who is under the age of eighteen and is deemed incapacitated.
