Generally revise guardian and conservator laws
This bill revises Montana's guardian and conservator laws to require individuals seeking these roles to disclose any history of bankruptcy or certain criminal convictions to the court. It mandates that professional guardians and conservators provide detailed information about their qualifications, fees, past claims against their bonds, and any disciplinary actions taken against them. The legislation also clarifies a guardian's duties regarding visitation and communication with protected adults and requires guardians to submit a formal guardianship plan outlining their approach to caring for the individual. These changes aim to increase transparency and accountability in guardianship and conservatorship proceedings across the state.
