AI summary Currently, judges can only skip requiring a bond for a conservator if they find a specific alternative way to protect someone's money. This bill would give courts more power to decide for themselves whether a conservator needs to post a bond or not.1
Read the official explanation
This bill relates to a court’s ability to waive the requirement of conservators to post bond. The bill provides the court discretion as to whether a bond is required for a conservator. Under current law, courts do not have the discretion to waive bond for a conservator, other than a financial institution with Iowa trust powers, unless the court finds an alternative to bond that would protect the protected person’s assets.
