What happens if the dependent adult dies?

Once the dependent adult dies, the trustee must render an accounting to the legal representative of the deceased. If the legal representative is not satisfied with the accounting, he or she may apply to the Surrogate Court for an order requiring the trustee to bring in and pass the accounts relating to the management of the dependent adult's estate. You should notify the Public Trustee and the Clerk of the Surrogate Court of the date of death.
