Form 18 under the Substitute Decisions Act is an application to the Consent and Capacity Board — and it repeats the names and addresses of the people involved. This guide is an example of storing them once in my-id.ca.
Official form and source
Start from the official form and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change.
There is no single ontario.ca page that walks through filing this application. The form goes to the Consent and Capacity Board (not ServiceOntario). For background on capacity findings and the Board, see Mental capacity — ontario.ca.

What this form is about
Form 18 is the application to the Consent and Capacity Board to review a finding that someone is incapable of managing property (Substitute Decisions Act, subsection 20.2(1)). It is not a guardianship application and not a power-of-attorney form — it challenges an existing incapacity finding.
