Rule 115 V.a. Conservatorship

Here's a plain English summary of this rule:

This rule covers a special type of conservatorship set up for military veterans who get benefits from the Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA). A conservator is someone appointed by the court to manage money and property for a veteran who can't handle these things themselves.

When the conservator wants the court to approve their financial reports or other actions, they must also get written approval from the VA and include it with their court paperwork. The conservator also has to file a Certificate of Audit from the VA whenever they submit an accounting of the veteran's money.

Unlike other conservatorship cases, the court usually won't appoint extra people like a master, guardian ad litem, or Kokua Kanawai to oversee things. This is because the VA already reviews and approves the conservator's actions. The only way the court would appoint one of these extra overseers is if someone involved in the case asks for it and the court agrees it's needed.
