HB643:

Guardianship and conservatorship; periodic review hearings.

Bill Summary:

Guardianship and conservatorship; periodic review
hearings. Requires a schedule for periodic review hearings in
the order of appointment of a guardian or conservator to be set
by a court, unless the court makes a determination that such hearings
are unnecessary or impracticable. The bill allows any person to petition
the court to hold a review hearing earlier than the scheduled date.
The bill further provides that any periodic review hearing shall
include the following assessments by the court: (i) whether the guardian
or conservator is fulfilling his duties and (ii) whether continuation
of the guardianship or conservatorship is necessary and, if so, whether
the scope of such guardianship or conservatorship warrants modification.
