Code Ann. § 62-5-420","heading":"Persons dealing with conservators; protection.","body":"A person, who in good faith either assists a conservator or deals with him for value in any transaction, other than those requiring a court order as required in this part is protected as if the conservator properly exercised the power. The fact that a person knowingly deals with a conservator does not alone require the person to inquire into the existence of a power or the propriety of its exercise, except that restrictions on powers of conservators which are endorsed on letters as provided in Section 62-5-404 or Section 62-5-428 are effective as to third persons. A person is not bound to see to the proper application of estate assets paid or delivered to a conservator. This protection extends to instances in which some procedural irregularity or jurisdictional defect occurred in proceedings leading to the issuance of letters. This protection is not a substitution for that provided by comparable provisions of the laws relating to commercial transactions and laws simplifying transfers of securities by fiduciaries.","path":["Title 62 - SOUTH CAROLINA PROBATE CODE","ARTICLE 5 Protection of Persons Under Disability and Their Property","Part 4 Protection of Property of Persons Under Disability and Minors"],"source_url":"https://www.scstatehouse.gov/code/t62c005.php","current_through":"2025 Session of the General Assembly","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-02T08:08:44Z","sha256":"0b9f2c0143ca1a0859d9f29f00540cd898beaa4730e6389abf9f23264fce70f9","source_id":"us-sc","stale":false,"prev":"us-sc/s.c.-code-ann.-62-5-419","next":"us-sc/s.c.-code-ann.-62-5-421"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
