In Iowa, the conservator is not required to provide for the care and maintenance of
            the protected person (individual whose funds are in the account), but has the power
            to do so. In addition, the conservator's power to direct funds from the protected
            person's estate is subject to court approval.
         
         Nevertheless, in Iowa it may still be presumed, absent evidence to the contrary, that
            funds in a conservatorship or "blocked" account are available for the care and maintenance
            of the protected individual. Even though the conservator may not choose to use the
            funds for the care and maintenance of the protected person, the conservator retains
            the power to do so. Thus, the funds are available for such use. This is true despite
            the fact that the conservator is required to petition the court to withdraw funds
            for the protected individual's care.
