Clerk's Certificate of Service
Notice to (Proposed) Guardian or Conservator: The court may order you to answer questions about the (proposed)
ward’s or conservatee’s finances and order payment of the waived fees from his or her estate. If this happens and the fees 
are not paid, the court can also charge collection fees. The court may also order you make efforts to collect money for 
the waived fees from those owing a duty of support of the ward or conservatee. 
 
If there is a change in the ward’s or conservatee’s financial circumstances during this case that increases his or her ability 
to pay fees and costs, you must notify the trial court within five days. (Use form FW-010-GC.) 
 
If this case is a civil case against another party and you win the case on behalf of the ward or conservatee, the trial court 
may order the other side to pay the fees. If you settle the civil case for $10,000 or more, the trial court will have a lien on 
the settlement in the amount of the waived fees. The trial court may not dismiss the case until the lien is paid.  
 
The court may also have a lien against the ward’s or conservatee’s estate that must be paid before the estate is 
distributed, the guardianship or conservatorship proceeding is concluded, and you are discharged as guardian or 
conservator.
