determination of perishability.

A. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in the

Oklahoma Guardianship and Conservatorship Act, a guardian or limited

guardian of the property of a ward may sell, at public auction or

private sale, without obtaining prior court authorization for sale,

without filing a return of sale, and without obtaining court

confirmation of sale, any personal property of the ward which is

perishable, is otherwise likely to depreciate in value, or would

cause the estate of the ward to incur loss or expense if kept.

Title to such property shall pass to the purchaser thereof without

approval of or confirmation by the court of such sale.

B. With respect to a limited guardian of the property, this

section shall apply only to property of the ward which is subject to

such limited guardian's control pursuant to a dispositional order.

C. Any sale of property made by a guardian or limited guardian

of the property of a ward pursuant to this section shall be reported

in the accounting next filed by such guardian or limited guardian

after the making of the sale. If the court determines the property

sold was not perishable or was not otherwise likely to depreciate in

value and would not have caused the estate of the ward to incur loss

or expense if kept, the guardian or limited guardian who made such

sale shall not be surcharged or otherwise held liable with respect

to such sale if he made a reasonable determination in good faith

that the property sold was perishable, was otherwise likely to

depreciate in value, or would have caused the estate of the ward to

incur loss or expense if kept.
