Attached to the copy of the report shall be a statement\n\nnotifying the person receiving copies of said reports that any\n\nobjection to the report must be filed within fifteen (15) days after\n\nthe date of the filing of the annual report with the court.\n\n3. Any person entitled to receive a copy of the annual report\n\nmay file an objection to said report within fifteen (15) days after\n\nthe filing of the annual report with the court.\n\nB. 1. After notice, the court may on its own motion hold a\n\nhearing on an annual report and shall hold a hearing:\n\na. upon the filing of an objection to the annual report;\n\nor\n\nb. when the court is considering issuing an order other\n\nthan an order accepting the report and granting the\n\nrelief requested.\n\n2. Notice for a hearing on an annual report shall be given, by\n\nmail, to the persons entitled to notice pursuant to Section 2-101 of\n\nthis title for minors or paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 7 of subsection A of\n\nSection 3-110 of this title for adults at least ten (10) days prior\n\nto the date set for the hearing. Notice shall be in such form as\n\nthe court may direct and shall be sent by regular first-class mail.\n\nC. The court may enter an order granting the relief requested\n\nin the report without notice if the court determines that such\n\nrelief should be granted immediately. In that event, the court\n\nshall grant such relief on a temporary basis pending a hearing on\n\nthe report or the expiration of the fifteen (15) days within which\n\nan objection to the report may be filed.\n\nD. When no objection to an annual report is filed and no\n\nhearing on the annual report is held as otherwise provided by this\n\nsection, the court shall issue an order accepting the annual report\n\nand granting the relief requested.\n\nE. The compensation for the guardian, the guardian's attorney,\n\nand any other person entitled to compensation from the property of\n\nthe ward shall be determined by the court in the manner required by\n\nthe provisions of the Oklahoma Guardianship and Conservatorship Act.\n\nSuch order, whether issued at the expiration of the fifteen (15)\n\ndays within which an objection to the annual report may be filed or\n\nafter a hearing on the report, shall be final with respect to all\n\npersons given copies of the annual report or notice of such hearing,\n\nexcept with regard to any such person who may be determined to have\n\nbeen subject to a legal disability at the time such notice was\n\ngiven. Such order also shall be final with respect to the guardian\n\nexcept with respect to challenge by the ward upon the removal of the\n\nward's legal disability.\n\nF. With regard to an annual report of a guardian of the\n\nproperty of a ward, the court shall examine the changes, if any, to\n\nthe property of the ward as set forth in the report. If the\n\nguardian was required to submit a bond, and if the total value of\n\nthe ward's property which is subject to the proceeding differs\n\nsignificantly from the total value of the ward's property as last\n\ndisclosed to the court:\n\n1. The court shall direct such guardian to obtain a new bond of\n\nsuch lesser or greater penal amount as will adequately protect the\n\nward's property which is subject to the proceeding;\n\n2. Such new bond shall be filed with the district court clerk\n\nwithin thirty (30) days following the date of the order; and\nignificantly from the total value of the ward's property as last\n\ndisclosed to the court:\n\n1. The court shall direct such guardian to obtain a new bond of\n\nsuch lesser or greater penal amount as will adequately protect the\n\nward's property which is subject to the proceeding;\n\n2. Such new bond shall be filed with the district court clerk\n\nwithin thirty (30) days following the date of the order; and\n\n3. If the court requires a new bond of a greater penal amount\n\nthan the bond previously submitted, failure of the guardian to\n\nsubmit such new bond within the thirty-day period set forth in this\n\nsubsection shall constitute grounds for removal of such guardian or\n\nlimited guardian.\n\nG. At any hearing held upon an annual report:\n\n1. If required by the court, the guardian or limited guardian\n\nshall be present;\n\n2. The court shall review the annual report and consider any\n\nobjection made thereto, and thereupon enter such order as the court\n\ndeems appropriate; and\n\n3. The court may make any order which the court deems to be in\n\nthe best interest of the ward or the estate of the ward. The court\n\nmay also set for further hearing, with prior notice to be given as\n\nprovided in this section, any other matter which the court deems\n\nshould be considered in the best interest of the ward or the estate\n\nof the ward. Subject to appeal or vacation within the time\n\npermitted, an order entered after the hearing of an annual report\n\nafter notice adjudicates as to liabilities concerning the matters\n\nconsidered in connection with said hearing.\n\nH. At a hearing upon an annual report the court may appoint an\n\nattorney to represent the ward who is an incapacitated or partially\n\nincapacitated person, in the same manner and with the same\n\ncompensation as provided in this act for appointment of an attorney\n\nfor the subject of the proceeding following the filing of a petition\n\nfor appointment of a guardian or limited guardian of the person or\n\nproperty of an alleged incapacitated or partially incapacitated\n\nperson. The appointment of such attorney shall cease:\n\n1. Upon the entry by the court of an order pertaining to the\n\nmatters considered at such hearing, unless the court otherwise\n\ndirects, either in the order appointing such attorney or in the\n\norder pertaining to the matters considered at such hearing;\n\n2. Unless an appeal is taken from the order of the court\n\npertaining to the matters considered at such hearing, in which event\n\nsuch attorney shall continue to represent the ward until final\n\ndisposition of the appeal or as otherwise ordered by the court; or\n\n3. Upon application of said attorney, the court may allow the\n\nattorney to withdraw from the case and shall appoint another\n\nattorney to represent the subject of the proceeding in any appeal\n\nproceeding.","path":["OK Code","Title 30"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os30.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"adb185cb22a541cb7494d2d37bac09191fdc01598d08b65a804eb7a2f0ed111f","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-30-30-4-306","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-30-30-4-308"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
