1. Any sale or encumbrance to a conservator, the conservator's spouse, agent, or attorney, or any corporation, limited liability company, or trust in which the conservator has a substantial beneficial interest, or any transaction which is affected by a substantial conflict of interest is voidable unless the transaction is approved by the court, after notice to interested persons and others as directed by the court.

2. A conservator shall move the court for authorization to sell real property of the person to be protected, upon such terms as the court may order, for the purpose of paying the protected person's debts; providing for the care, maintenance, rehabilitation, training, or education of the person to be protected or the dependents of the person to be protected; or for any other purpose in the best interests of the person to be protected.

(4) The current fair market value of the property, including an appraisal unless good cause is shown;

(5) An explanation of why the transaction is in the best interest of the person to be protected; and

b. The motion must be served upon those identified in section 30.1-29-05.1.
