2591.5
. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this article, a
conservator seeking an order under Section 2590 authorizing a sale
of the conservatee's personal residence shall demonstrate to the
court that the terms of sale, including the price for which the
property is to be sold and the commissions to be paid from the
estate, are in all respects in the best interests of the conservatee.
(b) A conservator authorized to sell the conservatee's personal
residence pursuant to Section 2590 shall comply with the provisions
of Section 10309 concerning appraisal or new appraisal of the
property for sale and sale at a minimum offer price. Notwithstanding
Section 10309, if the last appraisal of the conservatee's personal
residence was conducted more than six months prior to the proposed
sale of the property, a new appraisal shall be required prior to the
sale of the property, unless the court finds that it is in the best
interests of the conservatee to rely on an appraisal of the personal
residence that was conducted not more than one year prior to the
proposed sale of the property. For purposes of this section, the date
of sale is the date of the contract for sale of the property.
(c) Within 15 days of the close of escrow, the conservator shall
serve a copy of the final escrow settlement statement on all persons
entitled to notice of the petition for appointment for a conservator
and all persons who have filed and served a request for special
notice and shall file a copy of the final escrow statement along with
a proof of service with the court.
(d) The court may, for good cause, waive any of the requirements
of this section.
