AL Code § 26-2A-147 (2021)
2021 Code of Alabama|Title 26 - Infants and Incompetents.|Chapter 2A - Alabama Uniform Guardianship and Protective Proceedings Act.|Article 2 - Protection of Persons Under Disability and Their Property.|Division 3 - Protection of Property of Persons Under Disability and Minors.|Section 26-2A-147 - Accounts.

Section 26-2A-147Accounts. Each conservator shall account to the court for administration of the conservatorship upon resignation or removal and at other times as the court may direct, but if not otherwise directed, the conservator must, at least once in three years, account to the court. If the conservator shall die before making the accounting, the conservator's personal representative will make the accounting, or if no personal representative has been appointed, the sureties on the conservator's bond may proceed to make the accounting. On termination or removal of the protected person's minority or disability, a conservator shall account to the court or to the formerly protected person. An order after notice and hearing allowing an intermediate account of a conservator is a final adjudication as to liabilities concerning the matters considered in connection therewith. Thereafter, at any time prior to final settlement, the account may be reopened by the court on motion or petition of the conservator or ward or other party having an interest in the estate for amendment or revision if it later appears that the account is incorrect either because of fraud or mistake. An order, following notice and hearing, allowing a final account is a final adjudication as to all previously unsettled liabilities of the conservator to the protected person or the protected person's successors relating to the conservatorship. In connection with any account, the court may require a conservator to submit to a physical examination of the estate, to be made in any manner the court specifies. (Acts 1987, No. 87-590, p. 975, §2-318.)
AL Code § 26-2A-148 (2021)
2021 Code of Alabama|Title 26 - Infants and Incompetents.|Chapter 2A - Alabama Uniform Guardianship and Protective Proceedings Act.|Article 2 - Protection of Persons Under Disability and Their Property.|Division 3 - Protection of Property of Persons Under Disability and Minors.|Section 26-2A-148 - Conservators; Title by Appointment.

Section 26-2A-148Conservators; title by appointment. (a) The appointment of a conservator vests in the conservator title as trustee to all property, or to the part thereof specified in the order, of the protected person, presently held or thereafter acquired, including title to any property theretofore held for the protected person. Appointment of a conservator does not terminate a custodianship created under a Uniform Gifts to Minors Act or a Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, or a valid durable power of attorney, except on order of the court. An order specifying that only a part of the property of the protected person vests in the conservator creates a limited conservatorship. (b) Except as otherwise permitted herein, the interest of the protected person in property vested in a conservator by this section is not transferable or assignable by the protected person. An attempted transfer or assignment by the protected person, though ineffective to affect property rights, may generate a claim for restitution or damages which, subject to presentation and allowance, may be satisfied as provided in Section 26-2A-156. (Acts 1987, No. 87-590, p. 975, §2-319.)

Section 26-2A-149Recording of conservator's letters. (a) Except for property unaffected by the appointment of a conservator specified in Section 26-2A-148(a), letters of conservatorship are evidence of transfer of all assets, or the part thereof specified in the letters, of a protected person to the conservator. An order terminating a conservatorship is evidence of transfer of all assets subject to the conservatorship from the conservator to the protected person, or to successors of the person. (b) Subject to the requirements of general statutes governing the filing or recordation of documents of title to land or other property, letters of conservatorship and orders terminating conservatorships may be filed or recorded to give record notice of title as between the conservator and the protected person. For the filing and recordation of letters of conservatorship and orders terminating conservatorships, the probate judge shall receive the same compensation (fees of registration) therefor as for recording deeds to land, but no tax levied upon the recordation of mortgages, deeds, and instruments of like character shall be levied upon or collected. (Acts 1987, No. 87-590, p. 975, §2-320.)

Section 26-2A-150Sale, encumbrance, or transaction involving conflict of interest; voidable; exceptions. Any sale or encumbrance to or purchase from a conservator, the spouse, agent, attorney of a conservator, any person related to the conservator by blood or marriage within the fourth degree, or any corporation, trust, or other organization in which the conservator has a substantial beneficial interest, or any other transaction involving the estate being administered by the conservator which is affected by a substantial conflict between fiduciary and personal interests is voidable unless the transaction is approved by the court after notice as directed by the court.

AL Code § 26-2A-151 (2021)
2021 Code of Alabama|Title 26 - Infants and Incompetents.|Chapter 2A - Alabama Uniform Guardianship and Protective Proceedings Act.|Article 2 - Protection of Persons Under Disability and Their Property.|Division 3 - Protection of Property of Persons Under Disability and Minors.|Section 26-2A-151 - Persons Dealing With Conservators; Protection.

Section 26-2A-151Persons dealing with conservators; protection. (a) A person who in good faith either assists or deals with a conservator for value in any transaction other than those requiring a court order as provided in Section 26-2A-136 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, but restrictions on powers of conservators which are endorsed on letters as provided in Section 26-2A-154 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. (b) The protection expressed in this section extends to any procedural irregularity or jurisdictional defect occurring in proceedings leading to the issuance of letters and is not a substitution for protection provided by comparable provisions of the law relating to commercial transactions or to simplify transfers of securities by fiduciaries. (Acts 1987, No. 87-590, p. 975, §2-322.)

Section 26-2A-154Enlargement or limitation of powers of conservator. Subject to the restrictions in Section 26-2A-136(c), a court having equity jurisdiction may confer on a conservator at the time of appointment or later, in addition to the powers conferred by Sections 26-2A-152 and 26-2A-153, any power that the court itself could exercise under Sections 26-2A-136(b)(2) and 26-2A-136(b)(3). The court, at the time of appointment or later, may limit the powers of a conservator otherwise conferred by Sections 26-2A-152 and 26-2A-153 or previously conferred by the court and may at any time remove or modify any limitation. If the court limits any power conferred on the conservator by Section 26-2A-152 or Section 26-2A-153, or specifies, as provided in Section 26-2A-148(a), that title to some but not all assets of the protected person vests in the conservator, the limitation or specification of assets subject to the conservatorship must be endorsed upon the letters of appointment. (Acts 1987, No. 87-590, p. 975, §2-325.)

The conservator may examine the will of the protected person. (Acts 1987, No. 87-590, p. 975, §2-326.)

Section 26-2A-157Personal liability of conservator. (a) Unless otherwise provided in the contract, a conservator is not personally liable on a contract properly entered into in fiduciary capacity in the course of administration of the estate unless the conservator fails to reveal the representative capacity and identify the estate in the contract. (b) The conservator is personally liable for obligations arising from ownership or control of property of the estate or for torts committed in the course of administration of the estate only if personally at fault. (c) Claims based on (i) contracts entered into by a conservator in fiduciary capacity, (ii) obligations arising from ownership or control of the estate, or (iii) torts committed in the course of administration of the estate, may be asserted against the estate by proceeding against the conservator in fiduciary capacity, whether or not the conservator is personally liable therefor. (d) Any question of liability between the estate and the conservator personally may be determined in a proceeding for accounting, surcharge, or indemnification, or other appropriate proceeding or action.

Section 26-2A-158Termination of proceedings. (a) The protected person, conservator, or any other interested person may petition the court to terminate the conservatorship. A protected person seeking termination is entitled to the same rights and procedures as in an original proceeding for a protective order. If the conservator has accounted to the formerly protected person, no accounting is necessary. The court, upon determining after notice and hearing that the minority or disability of the protected person has ceased, shall terminate the conservatorship. Upon termination, title to assets of the estate passes to the formerly protected person or to successors. The order of termination must provide for expenses of administration and direct the conservator to execute appropriate instruments to evidence the transfer. (b) A conservator appointed by any court of this state, on termination or removal of the protected person's minority or disability, may present a verified petition to the court in which the conservatorship is pending, praying for a final consent settlement by and between the conservator and the protected person. If the consent settlement is agreed to by the protected person in a written instrument signed by the protected person and acknowledged as conveyances of real estate are acknowledged, the court may approve the settlement without notice. The agreement of the protected person may be expressed by joining in the petition with the conservator or by a separate written instrument. Any final settlement so approved by the court shall have the same force and effect as settlements made in compliance with subsection (a). (Acts 1987, No. 87-590, p. 975, §2-329.)

Section 26-2A-159Payment of debt and delivery of property to foreign conservator without local proceedings.

(b) If the person to whom the affidavit is presented is not aware of any protective proceeding pending in this state, payment or delivery in response to the demand and affidavit discharges the debtor or possessor.
