At what age must a protected person have attained for a conservator to provide them with a copy of the inventory?

In the context of conservatorship, the law is designed to ensure that protected individuals are aware of the management of their affairs, especially regarding their financial assets and personal property. The correct age for a protected person to receive a copy of the inventory when a conservatorship is established is 14 years. This provision recognizes that individuals at this age are sufficiently mature to understand the basic aspects of their finances and affairs, and the conservator has a duty to inform them.

This requirement aims to promote transparency and involve the protected persons in matters that affect their wellbeing. By providing them with a copy of the inventory, they are allowed insight into their assets and help foster a sense of agency in their circumstances. It reflects the idea that even though they may have a conservator managing their day-to-day matters, they still have the right to be informed about their own property and finances.

Younger individuals, such as those who are 12 years old or younger, may not possess the ability to comprehend the implications of the financial inventory. As for those who are 16 and 18 years old, while they are legally regarded as more mature and capable of understanding, the law specifically designates 14 years as the threshold for this specific advisory role regarding their inventory
