29A-5-417. Presumption of authority of guardian or conservator. Any individual or entity that in good faith deals with a guardian or conservator as to any matter or transaction is entitled to presume that the guardian or conservator is properly authorized to act. The fact that an individual or entity deals with a guardian or conservator with knowledge of the representative capacity does not alone require an inquiry into the guardian's or conservator's authority, except that any such individual or entity shall be charged with knowledge of restrictions that may appear on the letters of guardianship or conservatorship. No individual or entity may be required to see to the proper application of any funds or property paid or delivered to a conservator.
