The Missouri Petition To Increase Authority of Fiduciary is a legal document used in the state of Missouri to grant a fiduciary (such as a guardian, conservator, trustee, or executor) greater legal power to manage and protect the interests of a ward or estate. This document is completed and submitted by the fiduciary and must be approved by the court. If approved, the court will issue an order that authorizes the fiduciary to act on behalf of the ward or estate. There are three types of Missouri Petition To Increase Authority of Fiduciary: 1) Guardianship Petition, 2) Conservator Petition, and 3) Trustee/Executor Petition. The Guardianship Petition grants a guardian the authority to make decisions regarding the ward's healthcare, education, housing, and other matters of personal welfare. The Conservator Petition grants a conservator the authority to manage the ward's financial and legal affairs. The Trustee/Executor Petition grants a trustee or executor the authority to manage and protect the assets of an estate.
