HOUSE COMMITTEE ON JUDICIARY

BACKGROUND:

In 1990 the Legislature made comprehensive revisions to the guardianship statute.  The bill was passed with a one year delayed effective date to allow for a full review of the proposed changes.  During the 1991 session the Legislature made many technical and substantive changes to the provisions of the 1990 legislation.

One change made in the 1991 legislation modified the procedures for preparing an inventory of assets of the incapacitated person.  The new provisions require the guardian to prepare an inventory of assets held by financial institutions.  The existing provisions requiring the institutions to prepare the inventory were not repealed.

SUMMARY:

Conflicting provisions in the asset inventory procedures are repealed.
