What should a conservator do at the termination of their obligations?

At the termination of a conservatorship, the primary obligation of a conservator is to prepare a final report and distribution of assets. This document serves multiple purposes: it provides a summary of the financial management undertaken during the conservatorship, detailing how the conservatee's assets were handled. The final report ensures transparency and accountability, allowing for a clear record of decisions made on behalf of the conservatee.

Additionally, distribution of assets must be carried out in accordance with the conservatee's wishes and the legal requirements of the court. This step is crucial as it marks the closing of the conservatorship and demonstrates that the conservator has fulfilled their duties by appropriately managing and distributing the conservatee's resources.

While writing a personal letter to the conservatee, notifying friends and family, or beginning new conservatorship procedures may have their own merits or contexts, they do not directly address the legal and administrative responsibilities that come with the conclusion of a conservatorship. The focus in this scenario should be on the accurate and responsible wrap-up of the financial and fiduciary duties as outlined by the court.
