A missing person for whose estate a conservator has been appointed may at any time petition the probate court that has jurisdiction over the conservator for an order terminating the conservatorship. Upon a finding by the court that the petitioner is in fact the missing individual, the court shall enter an order terminating the conservatorship and directing the conservator to make a final return to the court and to pay over and deliver all funds and property in the conservator's hands to the missing individual.
(Code 1981, §53-9-15, enacted by Ga. L. 1996, p. 504, § 10.)
