Requirements one by one
Two reporting clocks
Section 3-2-109(a) makes the guardian's first signed report due within six months after appointment and later reports every six months. It describes the adult's condition, residence, treatment, care, activities and the guardian's actions. Under § 3-3-602, the conservator instead files a verified property inventory within 90 days; newly discovered property goes in the next accounting. Section 3-3-901(a) puts the conservator's annual verified report and account within 60 days after each appointment anniversary, unless the court orders otherwise for good cause.
The conservator's accounting detail
Under § 3-3-902(a), the account gives a balance carried forward, receipts, itemized disbursements, investment changes and property recommendations. It also includes the bond and surety, the adult's location and general condition, and the duties exercised.
What trips people up
Under § 3-2-109(b), the court maintains a report calendar. Under § 3-2-109(c), an overdue guardian report triggers a show-cause order on possible contempt; § 3-2-111(b) also conditions guardian fee approval on current reports. Under § 3-3-1001, approval of either role's annual report waits until court costs are paid or provided for. The court settles each conservator account under § 3-3-1004 by allowing, disallowing or surcharging it.
Common questions
What must be filed when the appointment ends?
The guardian reports within 30 days after removal, resignation or termination under § 3-2-109(a)(iii). Under § 3-3-901(a), the conservator files before resignation is accepted, within 30 days after removal, or within 60 days after termination unless extended.
Who gets notice of the final conservator account?
Under § 3-3-1103, notice of the final account hearing goes to the adult or personal representative unless waived, at the time and in the manner the court prescribes. The conservator renders the final accounting to that person and the court.
