Advising Conservators On The Required Accounting Process

A conservator has many duties, including accounting, trust management and growth and even filing tax returns. In addition to these duties, a conservator must also provide regular accounting of the conservatorship for which they are responsible, unless the court has ordered otherwise. Proper accounting can be a complicated task, however, and may require the assistance of an experienced attorney.

Our knowledge of the law and our insight into creating conservatorships allows us to offer the comprehensive guidance you need to address each and every one of your conservator accounting concerns.

What Is Required In A Conservator Accounting?

As a conservator, you are responsible for instituting and managing a detailed accounting system. You will also be responsible for filing regular accountings of the conservatorship; in most cases, a Conservator must file an annual accounting with the court.

Many details must be included in a Conservator accounting, including:

  • Income of the conservatorship
  • Disbursements made
  • Liabilities of the conservatorship
  • Opening balance of the conservatorship for the accounting period
  • The closing balance of the conservatorship for the accounting period

Is An Attorney Necessary To File A Conservator Accounting?

Conservators may hold personal liability if important details of the conservatorship are overlooked, including during the accounting process. Having an experienced attorney working with you can be helpful in protecting yourself from unnecessary liability, and can ensure that your accounting policies and practices are adequate.
