Guardians and Conservators - As introduced, requires a hearing on a petitioner for the appointment of a guardian or conservator to be held within 90 days, rather than 60 days, from the date of service on the respondent or the date a guardian ad litem was appointed. - Amends TCA Title 24; Title 25; Title 26; Title 27; Title 28; Title 29; Title 30; Title 31; Title 32; Title 34; Title 35 and Title 36.

SB 272 extends the deadline for holding a hearing in guardianship or conservatorship cases from 60 to 90 days after the petition is served on the respondent or after a guardian ad litem is appointed. This bill directly affects individuals petitioning to become a guardian or conservator and those subject to such petitions. It amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 34-1-108(a), to change the required timeline for these civil court proceedings. The change applies across multiple titles of Tennessee law related to civil justice.
