The Guardian of the Estate Report
A Guardian of the Estate report identifies all financial transactions that occurred for an incapacitated person during the previous reporting year. This report must be completed annually during each year of the guardianship. The reporting year for an incapacitated person (IP) usually begins on the anniversary date of the court order that initiated the guardianship.
