(3) “Significant-connection state” means a state, other than the home state, with which a proposed conservatee has a significant connection other than mere physical presence and in which substantial evidence concerning the proposed conservatee is available.

(1) The location of the proposed conservatee’s family and other persons required to be notified of the conservatorship proceeding.
