Bill > HB4850

This bill amends the Estates and Protected Individuals Code to modify the procedures for appointing a temporary guardian and removing a conservator. Specifically, it allows the court to appoint a temporary guardian if the appointed guardian is not effectively performing their duties and the ward's welfare requires immediate action. The bill also allows the protected individual or an interested person to petition the court to remove the conservator, appoint a successor conservator, modify the terms of the conservatorship, or terminate the conservatorship. Additionally, the bill establishes that a petition for a successor guardian is subject to the priority of appointment under the existing law. The bill is tied to three other related bills that must also be enacted for this amendatory act to take effect.
