Sec. 846. COURT ACTION ON REPORT  


Latest version.
  • After five days from the time the report of the hiring or rental is filed, the court shall examine the report and shall approve and confirm the hiring or rental by court order if the court finds the hire or rental just and reasonable. If the court disapproves the hiring or rental, the guardianship may not be bound and the court may order another offering of the property for hire or rent in the same manner and subject to the same rules provided in this chapter for property for hire or rent. If the report has been approved by the court and it later appears that, due to the fault of the guardian of the estate, the property has not been hired or rented for its reasonable value, the court shall cause the guardian of the estate and the sureties on the bond of the guardian to appear and show cause why the reasonable value of the hire or rental of the property should not be adjudged against the guardian or sureties.
