Department of Veterans Affairs -- Hearings.

(1) Every guardian or conservator who shall receive on account of his ward any

moneys from the Veterans Affairs, shall file with the court biennially, on the

anniversary date of the appointment, in addition to such other accounts as may

be required by the court, a full, true and accurate account under oath of all

moneys so received by him, of all disbursements thereof, and showing the

balance thereof in his hands at the date of such account and how invested.

The guardian or conservator, at the time of filing his account shall exhibit all

securities or investments described therein to an officer of the bank or other

depository wherein said securities are held for safekeeping, or to an authorized

representative of the corporation which is surety on his bond, or to the clerk or

deputy clerk of a court of record in this state or to any other reputable person

designated by the court upon request of the guardian or conservator or other

interested party, who shall certify in writing that he has examined such

securities or investments and identified them with those described in the

account; provided, that if such depository is the guardian or conservator, such

certifying officer shall be an officer other than the officer verifying the account,

or the guardian or conservator may exhibit such securities or investments to

the judge of the court who shall endorse on the account and copy thereof a

statement that the securities or investments shown therein as on hand were in

fact exhibited to him and that those exhibited to him were the same as those

shown in the account. Such certificate, and the certificate of an official of the

bank in which is deposited any cash balance showing the amount on deposit

shall be filed by the guardian or conservator with his account. A certified copy

of each such account and a signed duplicate of such certificates filed with the

court shall be sent by the guardian or conservator to the office of the Veterans

Affairs having jurisdiction over the area in which such court is located. A

duplicate signed copy, or certified copy of any petition, motion or other pleading

which is filed in the guardianship proceedings, or in any proceedings for the

purpose of removing the disability or minority or of mental incompetency, shall

be furnished by the person filing the same, to the office of the Veterans Affairs

concerned. The court, unless hearing be waived in writing by the chief attorney

of the Veterans Affairs, shall fix a time and place for the hearing on such

account, petition, or other pleading, not less than fifteen (15) days nor more

than thirty (30) days from the date of filing same unless a different available

date be stipulated in writing and written notice of the time and place of such

hearing shall be given by the court to the aforesaid Veterans Affairs office not

hearing shall in like manner be given to the guardian or conservator and to any

others entitled to notice.

any guardianship proceeding wherein the Veterans Affairs is an interested

party.
