§ 15-10-505 — Notice to fiduciary - current address on file

(1) In all actions
undertaken pursuant to this part 5, the following provisions shall govern notice to
fiduciaries:

(a) In emergency situations. If it appears to a court that an emergency exists
because there is an imminent risk of substantial harm to a ward's or protected
person's health, safety, or welfare or to the financial interests of an estate, the
court may take appropriate action and issue an order with or without prior notice to
a fiduciary as the court determines appropriate based upon the nature of the
emergency. If a fiduciary of an estate is not present when an emergency order is
entered concerning the administration of the estate, the court shall attempt to
notify the fiduciary of the court's action and mail a copy of the court's order to the
fiduciary at the fiduciary's last address of record on file with the court. Notice of
the court's order shall also be served, pursuant to section 15-10-401, upon all
interested persons or as the court directs. Notice of all hearings set under section
15-10-503 (1) shall be given pursuant to section 15-10-401.

(b) In nonemergency situations. In nonemergency situations, notice to a
fiduciary shall be governed by section 15-10-401.

(c) Contempt. For a hearing to determine possible contempt of a fiduciary,
the court shall provide notice to the fiduciary as required by rule 107 of the
Colorado rules of civil procedure.

(2) Fiduciary's responsibility to keep current address in court file. Every
fiduciary appointed by a court is required to keep his, her, or its current address and
telephone number on file with the court. The fiduciary shall promptly notify the
court of any change in the fiduciary's address or telephone number.
