The same request forms prepared when the person needing protection is a dependent adult.

Why Us
These forms ask for sensitive details about someone vulnerable. We prepare them from what you provide. If anyone is in immediate danger, call 911.
Questions
Call 911. If you suspect abuse of an elder or dependent adult, Adult Protective Services in your county can also take reports. Write Legal prepares court paperwork and is not an emergency or investigative service.
The court uses form EA-100, Request for Elder or Dependent Adult Abuse Restraining Orders. The court's self-help site lists the full packet. We type the information you provide into the forms you direct us to prepare.
Sometimes, and the court's self-help site explains who may file for an elder or dependent adult. Whether you may file is a question for the court, and we cannot decide it for you. We can prepare the forms you direct us to prepare.
Someone who is not you and is at least 18 must serve the papers, such as a sheriff or professional process server. The court's self-help site explains the steps and any available fee waiver.
No, we are not an investigative or reporting agency, and we cannot give legal advice. We prepare paperwork from the information you give us. Reports of suspected abuse go to Adult Protective Services or law enforcement.
Where We Work
Our Elder Abuse Restraining Order service is available across California, with appointments at our Arroyo Grande and Lancaster offices and remote service statewide.
