Guardians and Conservators - As enacted, requires a fiduciary's sworn accounting of receipts and expenditures filed annually with the court supervising a guardianship or conservatorship to include the date of the fiduciary's last contact with the person with a disability. - Amends TCA Title 34.
SB 1636 requires guardians and conservators (fiduciaries) in Tennessee to include the date of their last contact with the person they are caring for in annual court filings. The bill mandates that these filings also state the person's current physical or mental condition and whether ongoing fiduciary services are still needed, while avoiding disclosure of confidential medical information. This change directly affects fiduciaries managing guardianships or conservatorships across Tennessee. The requirement applies to all annual accounting reports submitted to the court overseeing these cases, effective July 1, 2026.
