Final accounting and personal representative

There can also be a case where the personal representative was also the conservator then:

  • He/she is not allowed to use his representative position for own benefit by relieving his obligation or in any other way.
  • The court of law can also provide a waiver of the relationship if it is executed by the beneficiaries of the estate which is owned by the conservatee.
  • There can be other procedures allowed according to the law of any Country or State.

A final account has to be filed with the court if such misfortunate incident takes place. The person who submits this to the court eventually becomes the personal representative, receiving the documents of the authority along with turning over the assets too. When there is no probate which administers the assets and claims of the person who has expired then the other medical bills and stuff can also be added to the final accounting which is done when you want to be discharged.
