SB 1243 - This act requires the Public Administrator of Jackson County, who is serving as a conservator, to have pooled accounts audited at least once a year. The audit must review all receipts and disbursements of each estate account and a CPA must report to the judge about each account. The county is responsible for the expense of the audit.
Under this act, an account cannot be considered pooled unless:
(1) It is maintained at a bank or saving and loan institution;
(2) It is titled to reflect that the account is being held by a fiduciary; and
(3) The fiduciary maintains records that contain a statement of all accretions and disbursements and are maintained in the ordinary course of business.
