The duty to keep adequate records of the conservatorship estate is outline in detail in the Handbook for Conservators, that Conservator acknowledged receipt of on August 26, 2024.

According to that publication: If you reimburse yourself for expenses paid from your own funds, describe to whom you paid the funds on behalf of the conservatee, the amount of each expenditure, and what good or service was purchased for the conservatee. You must obtain and retain receipts for all of these expenditures and organize them so you can retrieve them if you are required to show them to the court. (Handbk. Of Constrs. at p. 5-66.) Discrepancy no. 3 - Petitioner spent $12,592.20 on groceries and $1,485.49 on restaurants for the accounting period.

This is excessive for one person and indicates the conservator is using the estate to provide food for more than just the conservatee. Several of the restaurant charges show the purchase was for more than one person. According to the USDA Food Plans, the Cost of Food for one person during the accounting period is $233-258 per month. (https://www.fns.usda.gov/cnpp/usda-food-plans-cost-food-monthly-reports) This means the amount the conservator exceeded the cost of food for the Conservatee by 3 times the recommended budget ($4,291.40).
