Rule 106 After Appointment Proceedings

Once a guardian or conservator is appointed, this rule explains who must be kept in the loop about what happens next in the case.

If the guardianship or protective arrangement case started before January 1, 2005, everyone who originally got notice about the case keeps getting notice of new filings. This continues unless someone who is entitled to notice agrees to give it up, or the court says otherwise.

If the case started on or after January 1, 2005, the notice rules depend on the type of case. In a conservatorship, the protected person must be notified of later filings, as long as they are at least 14 years old and are not missing, detained, or stuck outside the United States. The conservator also gets notified, along with anyone else the court names. In a guardianship, the ward and the guardian must both be notified of later filings, plus anyone else the court decides should be included.

In short, this rule makes sure the person under guardianship or conservatorship, along with the person managing their affairs, stays informed about ongoing legal actions in their case.
