filing of any partial settlement by the conservator of a minor or an incapacitated person

Section 26-2A-151 Persons dealing with conservators; protection. (a) A person who in good faith
either assists or deals with a conservator for value in any transaction other than those requiring
a court order as provided in Section 26-2A-136 is protected as if the conservator properly
exercised the power. The fact that a person knowingly deals with a conservator does not alone
require the person to inquire into the existence of a power or the propriety of its exercise,
but restrictions on powers of conservators which are endorsed on letters as provided in Section
26-2A-154 are effective as to third persons. A person is not bound to see to the proper application
of estate assets paid or delivered to a conservator. (b) The protection expressed in this
section extends to any procedural irregularity or jurisdictional defect occurring in proceedings
leading to the issuance of letters and is not a substitution for protection provided by comparable
provisions of the law relating to commercial...
