Do I need to stay in touch with the court?

Yes. If you are a Guardian of the child's Estate, you must file an accounting 1 year after you become guardian. After that, you must file a report ever 2 years, unless:

• The estate is worth less than $7,000 and there is less than $1,000 per month income from non-public assistance sources.
• All guardianship funds are in blocked accounts

If you don't file the accounting, the court could order you to do so or could remove you as the guardian.
