Upon the filing of any partial settlement by the conservator of a minor or an incapacitated person in the court in which such estate is pending, such conservator may pray for a reduction in the amount of his or her bond as such conservator. Thereupon, the court must set a day for the hearing of such partial settlement and must cause notices to be issued to all parties in interest as is now provided by law for final settlements of such estates and, on the day set for hearing, the court may fix the amount to which the bond shall be reduced, which shall be determined as now provided by law for such bonds.
