§ 276 Conservator Disclaimer Court Order

This law says that if someone is in charge of another person's money and stuff (called a conservator), they can say 'no thanks' to getting something (like money or property) for that person, but only if a judge says it's okay.

Key Takeaways

  • •A conservator can refuse money or property for the person they’re helping, but only with a judge’s permission.
  • •The conservator has to follow special rules to say 'no thanks' to something.
  • •This is to make sure saying no is the right choice for the person who needs help.

Example

Imagine your grandma has a conservator because she can't handle her money anymore. Someone leaves her a old house in their will.

The conservator can say 'we don’t want the house' if a judge agrees it’s a good idea, maybe because the house is falling apart and would cost too much to fix.
