Judge approves Becky Branscomb's annual accountings, notes no objections
Summary
A Lenawee County probate judge signed orders approving the 32nd, 33rd and 34th annual accountings filed by guardian Becky Branscomb after receiving waivers and no objections from interested parties.
A Lenawee County probate judge on July 1 signed orders approving the 32nd, 33rd and 34th annual accountings filed for the matter of Becky Branscomb, and included fees and costs in the approvals. The judge said she received no objections and noted that Michael McFarland, counsel of record, signed waivers dismissing any issues with the accountings.
The court handled a brief on-the-record verification: Branscomb confirmed the accountings were truthful, accurate and complete. She told the court her ward is "doing really well" and receives regular medical checks, including hospital visits every six months for airway and tracheostomy care.
The judge told Branscomb the court keeps copies of prior accountings and that there is a 21-day appeal period following approval. "I have signed approving the 30 second, 30 third, and 30 fourth annual accountings, including those fees and costs," the judge said, and directed Branscomb to see the clerk's office for a copy of the order.
The hearing record shows no objections were filed and McFarland executed waivers indicating no opposition to the accountings. The judge emphasized that once the court approves the accounts, they are approved subject to the statutory appeal period.
For next steps, the court instructed interested parties to obtain the signed order from the clerk's office; no further court action on this file was announced at the hearing.
