INSTRUCTIONS TO GUARDIAN
You have been appointed the Guardian of an individual, "Protected Person," who,
because of some incapacity, is unable to care for his/her own estate and/or personal
affairs. It is important that you understand the significance of this appointment and your
responsibility as Guardian.
In order to qualify and have your Letters issued to you, you may be required to
post a bond in the amount set by the Court and to take an oath to faithfully discharge your
duties as Guardian. The bond assures the Court that you will properly protect the assets
of the Protected Person.
Listed below are some of your duties, but not necessarily all of them. You are
directed to ask the Attorney for the Guardianship to fully explain to you each of the items
below and to tell you about the other duties you have in your particular circumstances.
Though the attorney will file all papers with the Court, the ultimate responsibility to see
that all reports, etc., are accurately and timely prepared and filed, rests with you.
As GUARDIAN of the estate of the Protected Person, you are required to:
1.
File with the Court, within ninety (90) days after your appointment, a
verified Inventory and Appraisement of all of the property belonging to
the Protected Person, unless waived by the Court;
2.
File with the Court a verified account of all the income and expenditures
of the Guardianship every two (2) years after your appointment, unless
waived by the Court;
3.
Pay bond premiums as they become due;
4.
File a final accounting with the Court upon the termination of the
Guardianship, whether due to the death of the Protected Person or for any
other reason, unless waived by the Court;
5.
Keep all of the assets of the Protected Person separate from your own;
6.
Open an account, in your name as Guardian, in which all of the cash assets
of the Protected Person are deposited. This account must be used for all
payments or disbursements on behalf of the Guardianship and the
Protected Person;
7.
Obtain approval from the Court to use Guardianship assets.
It is your duty to protect and preserve the Protected Person's property, to account
for the use of the property faithfully and to perform all the duties required by law of a
Guardian. You may NOT make expenditures or investments from the Guardianship
funds without Court authorization.
Guardianship funds must never be commingled with personal funds. A separate
account for all Guardianship assets must be kept in your name as Guardian. Accurate
accounts must be kept and accurate reports made. Unauthorized use of Guardianship
funds can result in your being personally liable for the misuse of those sums.
As GUARDIAN of the personal affairs of the Protected Person, you are required
to:
1.
Make certain that the physical and mental needs of the Protected Person
(food, clothing, shelter, medical attention, education, etc.) are property and adequately
provided for;
2.
File with the Court a status report as to the physical condition and general
welfare of the Protected Person every two (2) years after your appointment.
It is important to understand that you have the same duties and responsibilities
concerning the Protected Person whether or not the Protected Person is your relative.
If any questions arise during the Guardianship, you should consult with your
attorney immediately.
I authorize my attorney to disclose to the Court any information relating to his or
her representation of me a Guardian even if such information would be otherwise
confidential.
I acknowledge I have read and understand the above instructions and agree to
follow them carefully and further that I have kept a copy for my continued use and
review.
