Reopen conservator case to remove conservator order
The costs of conservatorship cannot be meet by the estate of the person I am conservator for. I wish to reopen the case to remove the court order. Court clerk said I need to submit a notice and motion to reopen the case. She said I can find examples at a law library or public library. I am having no such luck. Please add some guidance. I was orders to protect this person's money, not spend it as the accountant, commissioner of accounts, lawyer, Bondsman all want a couple hundred dollars. I can prove she is capable of handling her own finances now she is mediated if that will save her money. She is already aware of all her bills, dates due, and accounts.

Re: Reopen conservator case to remove conservator order
The NOTICE AND MOTION pleading, like most other
formal documents filed in a court case, is simply
an 8" x 11"sheet of paper styled with the correct
name of the court still having jurisdiction over the matter at the top, with the names of the parties below that on the left, and the case no.
on the right and below these, centered in between, the words: NOTICE AND MOTION.
Below this a couple of spaces, you then indent for your opening paragraph, and begin with the words: COMES NOW (your name), conservator for etc., giving notice to the court(and the world)of your request to repoen the matter in order for the court to do whatever it is that you want it to do.
And below this opening paragraph, you set out in numbered paragraphs your reasons for asking for this, and concluding with your summary(the WHEREFORE clause)of what you want the court to do (amend the order, vacate the order, etc.)
If you adhere to most of this outline, the clerk should accept it as sufficient for this particular purpose.
