IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to Rule 67(a), Ariz.R.S.Ct., that conservator Catherine Leisch is hereby ordered to serve a certified copy of this order on all banks or financial institutions wherein EDWIN P. YOUNG, II maintains professional financial accounts, and such service shall immediately operate as a modification of any agreement of deposit among such banks or financial institutions, the respondent and any other party to the account, so as to make conservator Catherine Leisch a necessary signatory on any professional or trust account maintained by EDWIN P. YOUNG, II.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that conservator Catherine Leisch is required to post no bond, and the protections of Rule 65(f), Ariz.R.S.Ct., shall apply.
