HB 3011 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to the appointment of a guardian or conservator

HB 3011 modifies Missouri's guardianship and conservatorship appointment rules. It establishes a priority order for court appointments: first the person's own nomination, then a durable power of attorney, followed by close family members (spouse, parents, adult children, siblings), and finally other nominees. The bill requires background checks - including mental health, abuse registries, criminal records, and credit history for conservators - when appointing non-family members, but exempts spouses, parents, adult children, and public administrators from these checks. These changes apply to adults needing guardianship or conservatorship due to incapacity or disability.
