The AI checks your answers before you download

12 checks built for this form, so a wrong date or a missing answer is caught before anyone else sees it.

Validates Last Four Digits of SSN

Checks that the 'Last four digits of SSN' field on the MC 97 form contains exactly four numeric digits. This validation ensures compliance with PII standards and proper identification for court and administrative systems that rely on this specific data point. A failed validation would prevent submission until a valid 4-digit number is entered, preventing data entry errors.

Ensures Date of Birth is a Valid Adult Age

This validation confirms the Date of Birth on the MC 97 form is a real calendar date and that the calculated age is 18 years or older. This is critical because this petition is specifically for an 'incapacitated individual,' which under Michigan law refers to an adult. An invalid date or an age under 18 would be rejected, as a different legal process applies to minors.

Conditional Requirement for Prior Court Case Details

Verifies that if the checkbox for a prior family division action is marked in Section 2, then the associated fields for Court Name, Case Number, Judge, and case status ('remains pending' or 'is no longer pending') are all filled. This information is essential for the court to understand the full legal context and avoid conflicting orders. Failure to provide these details would result in an incomplete submission error.

Requires Agent Details for Existing Legal Designations

This check ensures that if any box in Section 4 is checked (indicating a patient advocate, power of attorney, or conservator exists), the corresponding 'Name and address' field for that agent is completed. The court must be aware of any existing fiduciaries or agents who have authority over the individual's affairs. The form would be considered incomplete if this information is missing.

Mandatory Selection and Specification of Incapacity Reason

Confirms that at least one checkbox is selected in Section 6 to specify the reason for the individual's alleged incapacity. Furthermore, if the 'Other' checkbox is selected, the corresponding text field must contain a description. This is a foundational requirement of the petition, and failure to provide a reason would make the petition legally insufficient.

Verifies Factual Basis for Guardianship is Provided

Ensures that the text field in Section 7, which asks for 'Specific facts about the individual’s recent condition or conduct,' is not empty. This narrative is the core evidence supporting the petition and is legally required for the court to evaluate the need for a guardian. An empty field would lead to an immediate rejection of the form for being unsubstantiated.

Common Mistakes in Completing PC 625

The ones the AI is built to catch.

Placing Sensitive Data on the Public Petition Form
A critical error is entering the individual's date of birth, Social Security Number, or driver's license number directly onto the main petition (Form PC 625). These details are considered Protected Personal Identifying Information (PII) and must be placed on the separate MC 97 form. Placing PII on the public document can lead to identity theft and will cause the court clerk to reject the filing. To avoid this, carefully fill out Form MC 97 and use the corresponding reference numbers (e.g., 'Ref. No. 1') on the main petition.
Providing Vague or Insufficient Factual Details
In Section 7, petitioners often provide generic or emotional statements like 'they are confused' or 'can't care for themselves.' The court requires specific, recent, and observable facts that demonstrate the individual's inability to make informed decisions. Without concrete examples, dates, and descriptions of conduct, the petition lacks the necessary evidence and is likely to be dismissed. To avoid this, document specific incidents that illustrate the need for a guardian before filling out the form.
Failing to List All Required Interested Parties
Section 11 requires listing the individual's spouse, adult children, and living parents, or their presumptive heirs if none exist. Failing to identify and provide correct addresses for all these parties is a major procedural error. Since these individuals have a legal right to be notified of the proceedings, this mistake will cause significant delays or could even lead to the entire case being invalidated later. Diligently research and list all legally required relatives to ensure proper notice is given.
Inadequately Justifying an Emergency Temporary Guardian
Petitioners often misunderstand the high legal standard required for appointing a temporary guardian in Section 14. This section is only for true emergencies where there is an immediate risk of substantial harm or loss to the individual. Using this section for non-urgent matters will result in the request being denied by the judge. To avoid this, only request a temporary guardian if you can describe a specific, verifiable, and immediate crisis that cannot wait for a standard hearing.
Confusing Current Location with Legal Residence
The form asks for the address 'where now found' on page 1 (e.g., a hospital or rehab facility) and the individual's permanent 'home address' in Section 3. People frequently enter the same address in both places. This can create confusion regarding legal jurisdiction and proper service of court documents. To prevent this, carefully read each field and provide the distinct address required for each question.
Forgetting to Use Reference Numbers on the Main Petition
After correctly putting sensitive data on Form MC 97, many filers forget to write the corresponding reference number (e.g., 'Ref. No. 1' for DOB) in the appropriate blank on the main PC 625 petition. This leaves a blank space on the petition and fails to link the two forms, making the filing incomplete. This oversight can lead to rejection by the court clerk. AI-powered form filling tools like Instafill.ai can help prevent this by automatically populating the correct reference numbers.
Requesting a Limited Guardian Without Specifying Powers
When requesting a 'limited guardian' in Section 13, it is mandatory to describe the specific powers the guardian will need (e.g., 'authority to make medical decisions'). Many petitioners check the box but leave the description blank. The court cannot grant a guardianship with undefined powers, so this omission will halt the process until an amendment is filed, causing unnecessary delays.
Omitting Details of Prior Family Court Actions
Section 2 requires information on any prior family division cases, such as divorce or custody, involving the individual. Petitioners may be unaware of these cases or forget to include the case number and court name. This information is crucial for the court to have a complete legal history, and its omission can cause procedural delays while the court searches for related matters. It is important to check with family members or review personal records to ensure this section is completed accurately.
Providing Incomplete Contact Information for Relatives
In Section 11, petitioners must provide the full name, address, and telephone number for all listed relatives and nominated guardians. It is common for filers to provide partial addresses or omit phone numbers. Because these individuals must receive formal legal notice of the hearing, incomplete contact information will prevent the case from moving forward until the petitioner provides the missing details, causing significant delays. Verifying all contact information before filing is essential.
Failing to Complete the MC 97 Header Information
When using the separate MC 97 form for protected information, filers sometimes forget to fill out the top portion, including the case number, court name, and the name of the individual ('In the matter of'). Without this identifying information, the PII form cannot be correctly associated with the main petition. This can lead to the entire filing being rejected as incomplete or misfiled. Double-checking that both forms have matching header information is crucial for a successful submission.
