(a) The conservatorship of a minor shall terminate either on the date upon which the minor reaches 18 years of age or earlier if the minor becomes emancipated. Proof of emancipation shall be filed with the court; and, where the court deems appropriate, the court may order a hearing on the issue of termination.
(b) Within six months prior to the date the minor reaches 18 years of age, the conservator or any other interested person may file a petition for the appointment of a conservator for the minor when that minor becomes an adult, in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 of Chapter 5 of this title, to take effect on the date the minor reaches 18 years of age.
(c) The death of the minor automatically terminates the conservatorship, but the conservator or the conservator's personal representative must comply with the provisions in Code Section 29-3-70.
(d) Upon termination of the conservatorship, the conservator shall deliver any money or property to the former minor or, if a conservator has been appointed for the former minor, to that conservator, or, if the minor is deceased, to the minor's personal representative.
