Summary

The bill lets the state Health and Family Services cabinet act as a fiduciary—guardian, conservator, executor, or similar—when no suitable private party is available, while limiting its role to financial matters only. It also establishes a guardianship trust fund to hold and use leftover assets of deceased protected adults for indigent beneficiaries. Additionally, it adds disclosure rights for boarding‑home residents before admission.
