Arkansas Code Title 28. Wills, Estates, and Fiduciary Relationships § 28-65-307. Business conduct or participation

(a) If, at the time of the appointment of a guardian of the estate, the ward owns a business or an interest in a business, the court, by appropriate order, may authorize the guardian to continue the conduct of or participation in such a business in behalf of the ward for such periods of time and subject to such safeguards as the court may find to be for the best interest of the ward.

(b) The ward's estate, but not the guardian personally, shall be liable for damages resulting from torts or other acts committed by agents and employees of the guardian in the course of their employment in the conduct of the business.

(c) It is specifically recognized that the operation of any business undertaking involves hazards, chance, and danger of loss. In recognition of this fact, it is declared to be the legislative intent that no guardian shall be held personally liable for loss resulting from mere lack of familiarity with the business operations, mistakes of judgment made in good faith, or like causes.
