Ohio Revised Code|Section 2111.021 | Physically infirm adult may petition for conservatorship.

                                                
A competent adult who is physically infirm  may petition the probate court of the county in which the  petitioner resides, to place, for a definite or indefinite period  of time, the petitioner's person, any or all of the petitioner's  real or personal property, or both under a conservatorship with  the court. A petitioner either may grant specific powers to the  conservator or court or may limit any powers granted by law to the  conservator or court, except that the petitioner may not limit the  powers granted to the court by this section and may not limit the  requirement for bond as determined by the court. The petition  shall state whether the person of the competent adult will be  placed under the conservatorship, shall state with particularity  all real and personal property that will be placed under the  conservatorship, shall state the powers granted and any limitation  upon the powers of the conservator or court, and shall state the  name of a proposed suitable conservator. 
After a hearing, if the court finds that the petition was  voluntarily filed and that the proposed conservator is suitable,  the court shall issue an order of conservatorship. Upon issuance  of the order, all sections of the Revised Code governing a  guardianship of the person, the estate, or both, whichever is  involved, except those sections the application of which  specifically is limited by the petitioner, and all rules and  procedures governing a guardianship of the person, the estate, or  both, shall apply to the conservatorship, including, but not  limited to, applicable bond and accounting requirements.
A conservatorship shall terminate upon a judicial  determination of incompetency, the death of the petitioner, the  order of the probate court, or the execution of a written  termination notice by the petitioner. A termination notice shall  take effect upon execution by the petitioner, and shall be filed  with the court and served upon the conservator. A termination  notice executed by a petitioner relative to a conservatorship of  the estate and the termination of a conservatorship of the estate  based upon a termination notice are void unless the termination  notice is filed with the court within fourteen days after its  execution. Modification of the powers of a conservator or the  court may be made by the petitioner upon motion to the court at  any time during the conservatorship. Neither the establishment of  a conservatorship nor the filing of a petition for conservatorship  with the probate court shall be considered as evidence of mental  impairment under section 2111.01 of the Revised Code.
Upon motion to the probate court and a showing of good cause,  the court may make confidential, or remove from confidential  status, any file, record, petition, motion, account, or paper,  except for an index, docket, or journal, that pertains to a  conservatorship and that is in the possession of the court.
