Text

1. 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 provided to those identified in section 30.1-29-05.1. 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.
