(b)
The conservator shall exercise reasonable care, skill, and caution in:
- (1) selecting an agent;
- (2) establishing the scope and terms of a delegation, consistent with the purposes and terms of the conservatorship; and
- (3) periodically reviewing an agent's actions in order to monitor the agent's performance and compliance with the terms of the delegation.
(c)
In performing a delegated function, an agent owes a duty to the estate to exercise reasonable care to comply with the terms of the delegation.
(d)
A conservator who complies with subsections (a) and (b) is not liable to the protected person or to the estate for the decisions or actions of the agent to whom a function was delegated.
(e)
By accepting a delegation from a conservator subject to the law of the commonwealth, an agent submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the commonwealth.
