What action should a fiduciary take to protect a conservatee during the selection of a new residence?

A fiduciary's primary responsibility is to act in the best interest of the conservatee, ensuring their safety, well-being, and overall quality of life. In the context of selecting a new residence, the fiduciary must take all necessary actions to protect the conservatee from any potential harm or discomfort associated with the move. This includes assessing not only the physical safety of the residence but also the environment and community in which it is located.

While consulting with family members, considering the resale value of the home, and evaluating neighborhood safety are all important factors in the decision-making process, they do not encompass the full scope of a fiduciary's duty. These factors may enhance the decision but do not independently fulfill the fiduciary's obligation to prioritize the conservatee's overall safety and welfare during such a significant transition.

Thus, the duty to take all necessary actions to protect the conservatee encompasses a broader responsibility that includes but is not limited to those additional considerations. It emphasizes the fiduciary's role as an advocate for the conservatee's needs, ensuring that the chosen residence aligns with their health, safety, and emotional well-being.
