Case Number: Case Name: 4 Lawyer for (proposed) ward or conservatee, if any: Name: State Bar No: Firm or Affiliation: Street or mailing address: City: State: Zip: E-mail: Telephone: Date of the last court fee waiver order in this case (date): 5 Notice: The court may order you to answer questions about the ward's or conservatee's finances after granting a waiver and may later order payment of the waived fees from his or her estate. If this happens and the fees are not paid, the court can also charge collection fees. The court may also direct you to make efforts to collect money to pay back waived fees from persons who owe a duty to support the ward or conservatee. If there are additional changes in the ward's or conservatee's financial circumstances during this case that increases his or her ability to pay fees and costs, you must notify the trial court within five days. (Use another copy of this form.) If this case is an action against another party and you win the case on behalf of the ward or conservatee, the trial court may order the other side to pay some or all of the waived fees. If you settle the matter for $10,000 or more, the trial court will have a lien on the settlement in the amount of the waived fees. The trial court may not dismiss the case until the lien is paid. The court may also have a lien against the ward's or conservatee's estate that must be paid before the estate is distributed, the guardianship or conservatorship proceeding is concluded, and you are discharged as guardian or conservator. 6 The ward's or conservatee's financial situation has changed since the date of the last court fee waiver order in a way that improves my ability as guardian or conservator to pay court fees and costs. I ask the court to do one of the following: a. End the ward's or conservatee's fee waiver because his or her financial situation has improved and I am able to pay court fees and costs that are due after (date): . b. Review the ward's or conservatee's updated financial information in the attached Request to Waive Court Fees. I believe the ward or conservatee is still eligible for a fee waiver.
