Petition For Examination (Fifth Standard) {ME-913}

ME-913 - PETITION FOR EXAMINATION (FIFTH STANDARD UNDER §51.20(1)(a)2.e, WIS. STATS.). This form is used in Wisconsin Circuit Court to request a legal examination of an individual’s mental condition under the specific criteria outlined in the fifth standard of Wisconsin’s mental health commitment law. It is typically filed by the County Corporation Counsel when there is concern that a person is mentally ill, is a proper subject for treatment, and meets certain additional requirements related to their inability to make informed decisions about medication or treatment. The petition must establish that the individual cannot understand or apply the benefits and risks of treatment options, has a history and recent behavior indicating a need for care to prevent serious harm or deterioration, and is unlikely to voluntarily seek the necessary services. The form also requires listing petitioners with personal knowledge or beliefs about the individual’s condition, as well as any other potential witnesses who may testify. It collects information about the subject’s family or other close contacts for notice and procedural purposes. www.FormsWorkflow.com
