135 Review of reserved and distributable funds by public
(1) The public trustee and guardian must review the trust fund at least
twice each year to decide whether the amount of reserved funds is
likely to be sufficient to meet the payments from reserved funds that
may be made within the 6-month period after the review.
(2) If the public trustee and guardian considers that the amount of
reserved funds is likely to be insufficient, the public trustee and
guardian must declare, in writing, an amount of distributable funds to
be reserved funds.
(3) The amount declared must not be more than is necessary to increase
the amount of reserved funds to what is required to meet payments
from reserved funds within the 6 months after the declaration is made.
(4) If the public trustee and guardian considers that the amount of
reserved funds is likely to be more than is necessary, the public trustee
and guardian must declare, in writing, the amount of the surplus funds
to be distributable funds.
