§560:5-420  Reports; appointment of kokua
kanawai.  (a)  A conservator shall file a petition for approval of accounts
and report to the court for administration of the estate annually
unless the court otherwise directs, upon resignation or removal, upon termination
of the conservatorship, and at other times as the court directs.  An order
allowing an intermediate report of a conservator adjudicates liabilities
concerning the matters adequately disclosed in the accounting.  An order
allowing a final report adjudicates all previously unsettled liabilities
relating to the conservatorship, and, subject to appeal and subject to
vacation, is final as to all persons with respect to all issues concerning the
estate that the court considered or might have considered.



(b)  A report shall include:



(1)  A list of the assets of the estate under the
conservator's control and a list of the receipts, disbursements, and
distributions during the period for which the report is made;



(2)  A list of the services provided to the protected
person; and



(3)  Any recommended changes in the budget for the
conservatorship as well as a recommendation as to the continued need for
conservatorship and any recommended changes in the scope of the
conservatorship.



(c)  The court may appoint a kokua kanawai to
review a report or budget, interview the protected person or conservator, and
make any other investigation the court directs.  In connection with a report,
the court may order a conservator to submit the assets of the estate to an appropriate
examination to be made in a manner the court directs. [L 2004, c 161, pt of §1]
