The court of probate may, at any time it is deemed necessary for the safety of the ward, require a conservator to make partial settlement of his or her conservatorship. The conservator must have notice of such requirement 10 days before the day appointed for his or her appearance by service of process and may appear and show, if he or she can, that such settlement is not necessary.
