§ 765 Service of petition; answer

Here's a plain English summary of this rule:

When someone files a petition under section 764, they need to promptly send a copy of it to the agency or institution that has custody of the person involved in the case. This could be a foster care agency, a juvenile facility, or another institution responsible for the person's care.

Once that agency or institution receives the petition, they have 5 days to file a written answer responding to it. This gives them a fast timeline to review the claims made in the petition and provide their official response to the court.

This rule matters because it keeps cases moving quickly through the court system. It also makes sure the agency or institution with custody has a real chance to respond before the court takes further action, protecting everyone's right to be heard.
