FL S0326

Courts may appoint a curator of an estate at any time with notice to interested persons, or without notice when there is "significant" danger (changed from "great" danger) that property may be wasted, destroyed, or removed from court jurisdiction

Curators must post a reasonable bond in an amount determined by the court unless the court waives this requirement; banks and trust companies serving as curators remain exempt from bond requirements

Courts have explicit authority to remove curators and impose surcharges for improper conduct

Curators must file reports with the court detailing their actions in managing the estate when the court deems necessary, and courts must review these reports to ensure effective estate management

Courts may require more frequent reporting or additional documentation as needed to protect estate interests
