Maine Revised Statutes

(a).    Within 90 days following a conservator's appointment, the conservator shall prepare and file with the appointing court a complete inventory of the estate of the protected person together with the conservator's oath or affirmation that it is complete and accurate so far as the conservator is informed. The conservator shall provide a copy of the completed inventory to the protected person if the person can be located, has attained 14 years of age and has sufficient mental capacity to understand these matters, and to any parent or guardian with whom the protected person resides.

(b).    A conservator shall keep suitable records of the conservator's administration and exhibit the same on request of any interested person.

(c).    If a conservator fails without good cause to file an inventory, the court may require the conservator or the conservator's surety to pay to the protected person's estate a minimum of $100 and a maximum of the amount the court determines is just to compensate the estate for any damage resulting from the failure to file the inventory. The payments required by this subsection are in addition to any other award or remedy available at law or in equity for fiduciary misconduct of the conservator.

(d).    If any property not included in the original inventory comes to the knowledge of the conservator or if the conservator or court learns that the value or description indicated in the original inventory for any item is erroneous or misleading, the conservator shall make a supplementary inventory or appraisement showing the market value of the new item or the revised market value or descriptions and the appraisers or other data relied upon, if any, and file it with the court and furnish copies to persons interested in the new information.

(e).    When an inventory has not been filed under this section and an interested party makes a prima facie case that property that should have been inventoried is now missing, the conservator has the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the specific property would properly be excluded from the inventory.
