out of state, etc.). The annual report form is used to file the final report and contains specific instructions on which sections to complete for a final report.

The final report can replace the requirement of filing an annual report if the final report is requested prior to the due date of the annual report. For example, if the guardianship ends in June and an annual report is due in December of the same year, the final report replaces the annual report due in December. If the annual report from the previous year has not been filed, it is still due in conjunction with a final report.

The requirement to file a final report of the guardian of the estate cannot be waived by the court.

If the Inventory or an annual report is filed with the court and an error is found during the court's review process, you may be required to file an amended report. An amended report allows a guardian to provide additional information or fix a mistake on a filed report. Once a report is filed with the court, the court cannot make corrections as the filed report is a legal document.

If the original report was filed via GTS, you can file the amended report in GTS, which will save you time. GTS will prefill the amended report with the information supplied on the original report, allowing you to simply update or correct the information. If the original report was filed on paper, you will need to create a new annual report on paper or in GTS to file.
