determines is appropriate.

to accept, the conservator shall provide to the court the identity of the buyer and the

sale that the conservator desires to accept, the conservator shall provide to the court

the court only after all of the following occur:

abated or corrected by the conservator and the owner has not successfully
petitioned to terminate the conservatorship as set out in KRS 99.845;
