PART 4

PROTECTION OF PROPERTY OF PERSONS UNDER DISABILITY AND MINORS [EFFECTIVE UNTIL JANUARY 1, 2027] CONSERVATORSHIP [EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2027]

15-5-423.  Persons dealing with conservators — Protection. [effective until January 1, 2027] A person who in good faith either assists a conservator or deals with him for value in any transaction other than those requiring a court order as provided in section 15-5-408 of this Part, is protected as if the conservator properly exercised the power. The fact that a person knowingly deals with a conservator does not alone require the person to inquire into the existence of a power or the propriety of its exercise, except that restrictions on powers of conservators which are endorsed on letters as provided in section 15-5-426 of this Part are effective as to third persons. A person is not bound to see to the proper application of estate assets paid or delivered to a conservator. The protection here expressed extends to instances in which some procedural irregularity or jurisdictional defect occurred in proceedings leading to the issuance of letters. The protection here expressed is not by substitution for that provided by comparable provisions of the laws relating to commercial transactions and laws simplifying transfers of securities by fiduciaries.

15-5-423.  CONSERVATOR’S REPORT AND ACCOUNTING — MONITORING. [effective January 1, 2027] A conservator’s report and accounting and the monitoring of a conservatorship shall be done in accordance with Idaho supreme court rules.
