2009 California Government Code - Section 29460-29464 :: Article 7. Public Administrator's And Public Guardian's Revolving Funds

29460.  The board of supervisors in any county in which the public
administrator or guardian receives a salary in lieu of fees may, in
addition to any other revolving fund, establish a revolving fund to
be used by the public administrator and a revolving fund to be used
by the public guardian in paying the respective fees, expenses, and
charges incurred by them: (a) in securing the possession or
protecting the assets of any estate, or (b) for the purpose of
securing letters of administration, or letters of guardianship or
conservatorship, in any estate in which the public administrator or
guardian has no funds for the payment of such fees, charges, or
expenses but anticipates securing sufficient assets to reimburse the
county for such amounts, or (c) where accounting convenience would be
served by making a single payment on behalf of several estates and
funds are available for immediate reimbursement of the fund by cash
transfer. When the offices of public administrator and public
guardian are held by the same person, one revolving fund may be
established to serve the purposes of both offices as provided herein.

29461.  The fees, charges, and expenses incurred in connection with
any estate required to be administered by the public administrator or
guardian in which the assets of the estate prove insufficient are
county charges.

29462.  The board shall fix the amount of the public administrator's
revolving fund and the amount of the public guardian's revolving
fund in a sum sufficient to enable the public administrator and the
public guardian at all times to meet necessary fees, charges, and
expenses.

29463.  As soon as sufficient assets of an estate are received by
the public administrator or guardian, he shall replenish his
revolving fund by payment from such assets. If the assets are
insufficient therefor, the revolving fund shall be replenished by a
warrant drawn by the auditor on the order of the board, based upon
such vouchers as show proper evidence of the facts.

29464.  In all other respects, the provisions of Article 2 shall
govern this fund.
