Bill > HB4847

This bill amends several sections of the Estates and Protected Individuals Code to modify requirements for individuals to be appointed as a guardian or conservator. Key provisions include: - Requiring individuals appointed as a guardian or conservator, with some exceptions, to either obtain certification as set forth by the state Supreme Court, serve a limited number of wards/protected individuals, or be a licensed attorney serving a limited number of wards/protected individuals. - Imposing additional requirements and restrictions on professional guardians and conservators, such as visiting wards at least monthly, maintaining sufficient staff, and not delegating certain decision-making authority. - Establishing a set of factors the court must consider when appointing a guardian or conservator to determine if the person is suitable, rather than just choosing the person with the highest priority. - Tying the enactment of this bill to the passage of three other related bills.
