     525.583 Allowance and wages of conservatee; limited 
  accountability of conservator. 

    The court, upon its own motion or upon petition of the 
 conservator or conservatee, may authorize or direct the 
 conservator to pay to the conservatee out of the conservatorship 
 estate a reasonable allowance for the personal use of the 
 conservatee in the amount the court may determine to be for the 
 best interests of the conservatee.  Unless otherwise ordered by 
 the court, if the conservatee shall at any time during the 
 continuance of the conservatorship be employed, the wages or 
 salary for employment shall not be a part of the conservatorship 
 estate and the wages and salaries shall be paid to, and be 
 subject to the control of, the conservatee to the same extent as 
 if the conservatorship did not exist.  The conservator shall not 
 be accountable for the allowances or wages and salary.
