Are Guardians/Conservators Supervised?

In Washington State, guardians/conservators must report on a regular basis to the court.

A conservator must keep careful records of income and disbursements and account to the court, typically on an annual basis. Some actions, such as selling real estate, require prior court approval. The court may require the conservator to post a bond or keep certain funds in restricted accounts.

A guardian must submit a care plan to the court and report any significant changes in circumstances. Family members and other interested parties may request to be notified of matters that come before the court.
