Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill updates the powers of a conservator, who manages the finances and property of another person. It clarifies that a conservator can perform many actions without court approval, such as collecting property, investing money, and paying taxes. However, it requires court approval, including a recent appraisal and a hearing, for a conservator to sell, mortgage, or place a lien on the protected individual's main home or other real estate.
