3602
. (a) If there is no guardianship of the estate of the minor or
conservatorship of the estate of the person with a disability, the
remaining balance of the money and other property, after payment of
all expenses, costs, and fees as approved and allowed by the court
under Section 3601, shall be paid, delivered, deposited, or invested
as provided in Article 2 (commencing with Section 3610).
(b) Except as provided in subdivisions (c) and (d), if there is a
guardianship of the estate of the minor or conservatorship of the
estate of the person with a disability, the remaining balance of the
money and other property, after payment of all expenses, costs, and
fees as approved and allowed by the court under Section 3601, shall
be paid or delivered to the guardian or conservator of the estate.
Upon application of the guardian or conservator, the court making the
order or giving the judgment referred to in Section 3600 or the
court in which the guardianship or conservatorship proceeding is
pending may, with or without notice, make an order that all or part
of the money paid or to be paid to the guardian or conservator under
this subdivision be deposited or invested as provided in Section
2456.
(c) Upon ex parte petition of the guardian or conservator or upon
petition of any person interested in the guardianship or
conservatorship estate, the court making the order or giving the
judgment referred to in Section 3600 may for good cause shown order
one or more of the following:
(1) That all or part of the remaining balance of money not become
a part of the guardianship or conservatorship estate and instead be
deposited in an insured account in a financial institution in this
state, or in a single-premium deferred annuity, subject to withdrawal
only upon authorization of the court.
(2) If there is a guardianship of the estate of the minor, that
all or part of the remaining balance of money and other property not
become a part of the guardianship estate and instead be transferred
to a custodian for the benefit of the minor under the California
Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, Part 9 (commencing with Section
3900).
(3) That all or part of the remaining balance of money and other
property not become a part of the guardianship estate and, instead,
be transferred to the trustee of a trust which is either created by,
or approved of, in the order or judgment described in Section 3600.
This trust shall be revocable by the minor upon attaining 18 years of
age, and shall contain other terms and conditions, including, but
not limited to, terms and conditions concerning trustee's accounts
and trustee's bond, as the court determines to be necessary to
protect the minor's interests.
(d) Upon petition of the guardian, conservator, or any person
interested in the guardianship or conservatorship estate, the court
making the order or giving the judgment referred to in Section 3600
may order that all or part of the remaining balance of money not
become a part of the guardianship or conservatorship estate and
instead be paid to a special needs trust established under Section
3604 for the benefit of the minor or person with a disability.
(e) If the petition is by a person other than the guardian or
conservator, notice of hearing on a petition under subdivision (c)
shall be given for the period and in the manner provided in Chapter 3
(commencing with Section 1460) of Part 1.
(f) Notice of the time and place of hearing on a petition under
subdivision (d), and a copy of the petition, shall be mailed to the

Hospitals, and the Director of Developmental Services at the office
of each director in Sacramento at least 15 days before the hearing.
