The bill amends the "Estates and Protected Individuals Code" by introducing new provisions regarding the appointment of temporary guardians and the removal of conservators. Specifically, it adds Section 5312a, which allows a court to appoint a temporary guardian for a maximum of six months if a guardian has not been appointed or if the current guardian is not fulfilling their duties effectively. The court must find that immediate action is necessary for the welfare of the alleged incapacitated individual or ward. Additionally, the bill modifies Sections 5414 and 5415 to clarify the process for removing a conservator and allows interested parties to petition the court for various orders related to conservatorship, including the appointment of a successor conservator.

Furthermore, the bill updates Section 5423 to outline the powers of a conservator, including the ability to manage estate property and make decisions regarding its disposition. It emphasizes that a conservator cannot sell or encumber the protected individual's principal dwelling or real property without court approval, which must be granted only if it is in the best interest of the protected individual. The bill also includes provisions for the court to state on the record the reasons for such decisions. Overall, these amendments aim to enhance the protection and welfare of individuals under guardianship and conservatorship in Michigan.
