There may be required reports written by the curator to describe the actions taken while managing the estate. These must be submitted to the court. The reports allow for the court to monitor estate administration and ensure the duties of the curator are being fulfilled.
If reporting is required, the court may request:
- More frequent estate reports
- Additional documentation or supporting records
- Any other information needed to safeguard the estate’s assets
Curators are often subject to court removal and surcharge if they fail to properly carry out their responsibilities or do not properly manage estate assets. These newer requirements strengthen accountability and provide additional protections for estates under curator management.
