A court visitor is appointed by the court to be the eyes and ears of the court when a petition is filed seeking the appointment of a guardian or a conservator. The court visitor will talk with the individual who is the subject of the proceeding. The court visitor inform the person about the proceedings and their rights, interview the person, and submit a written report to the court. If the person that is the subject of the proceeding, called the Respondent, requests an attorney, the court is obligated to appoint one.
