Dear [Judge's Name], I am writing to submit an order for the appointment of a new conservator in the state of Kansas. The purpose of this letter is to provide a detailed description of the process and relevant information pertaining to the appointment of a conservator. In Kansas, there are several types of conservators that can be appointed, depending on the circumstances and needs of the individual. These types include conservator of the estate and conservator of the person. The conservator of the estate is responsible for managing the financial affairs and assets of the individual, while the conservator of the person is in charge of making decisions related to the individual's personal welfare, healthcare, and daily living. When requesting the appointment of a new conservator, it is essential to include the following information in the order: 1. Case Details: Begin the order by including the full legal names of the parties involved, the case number, and the name of the court where the case is being heard. This information helps ensure proper identification and documentation of the case. 2. Reason for Appointment: Clearly state the reason why a new conservator needs to be appointed. This may include the resignation, incapacitation, or death of a previous conservator, a change in circumstances, or the need for a more suitable conservator to protect the interests of the individual. 3. Nomination of the New Conservator: Include the full name, address, contact details, and relationship to the ward of the person being nominated as the new conservator. If the potential conservator is not a family member, it is helpful to explain why this person is being chosen and how their qualifications make them suitable for the role. 4. Consent and Acceptance: Attach a signed consent form from the nominated conservator, indicating their willingness to assume the responsibilities of the role. This demonstrates their understanding of the duties and obligations that come with being a conservator. 5. Proposed Powers and Limitations: Specify the powers and limitations that the new conservator will have. This may include the authority to manage the individual's finances and assets, make healthcare decisions, or limit the conservator's authority to certain specified areas. 6. Bond Requirements: In Kansas, a bond is typically required for conservators unless specified otherwise. State the amount of the bond, if applicable, and any special instructions regarding its acquisition. 7. Hearing: Request a hearing date and time for the appointment of the new conservator. This will allow interested parties or objectors to the appointment to present their case or raise any concerns. 8. Notice: Specify the individuals or entities who should be served notice regarding the appointment of the new conservator. This usually includes the ward, any interested parties, and other individuals specified by law or the court. 9. Additional Supporting Documents: Attach any supporting documents required by the court, such as medical reports, financial statements, or other relevant information that supports the need for a new conservator. 10. Signature and Certification: End the order with the signature of the requesting party, along with their name, contact details, and attorney information if applicable. Additionally, ensure the letter is dated and certified as a true representation of the request. Please review the enclosed order for the appointment of a new conservator, providing all necessary details, supporting documents, and signatures.
