Section 30.1-29-19 - (5-419) Annual reports and accounts1. At least once annually and at other times as the court may direct, a conservator shall file a report and account with the court regarding the exercise of powers and duties specified in the court's order of appointment. The report must describe any expenditure and income affecting the protected person, any sale or transfer of property affecting the protected person, and any exercise of authority by the conservator affecting the protected person.2. On termination of the protected person's minority , or on termination by a court with jurisdiction, a conservator shall file a final report and accounting and provide a copy of the report or accounting to the protected person and other parties as indicated in section 30.1-29-18. The report or accounting must be filed with the clerk of district court. The filing of the report or accounting does not constitute the court's approval of the report or accounting. The court may approve a report and settle and allow an accounting only upon notice to the protected person and other interested persons who have made an appearance or requested notice of proceedings. An order, after notice and hearing, allowing an intermediate account of a conservator, adjudicates liabilities concerning the matters considered in connection therewith, adequately disclosed in the accounting. An order, after notice and hearing, allowing a final account, adjudicates all previously unsettled liabilities relating to the conservatorship. In connection with any account, the court may require a conservator to submit to a physical check of the estate in the conservator's control, to be made in any manner the court may specify. The office of the state court administrator shall provide printed forms that may be used to fulfill reporting requirements. Any report must be similar in substance to the state court administrator's form. The forms must be available in the office of clerk of district court or obtainable through the supreme court's internet website.3. Copies of the conservator's annual report to the court and of any other reports required by the court must be mailed by the conservator to the protected person and other parties as required under section 30.1-29-18. The protected person's copy must be accompanied by a statement, printed with not less than double-spaced twelve-point type, of the protected person's right to seek alteration, limitation, or termination of the conservatorship at any time.Amended by S.L. 2023 , ch. 311( SB 2222 ), § 7, eff. 8/1/2023.Amended by S.L. 2017 , ch. 230( HB 1095 ), § 11, eff. 8/1/2017.
