If no one has been put in charge of a person's money or property in Missouri, someone who was already made a guardian or conservator in another state can bring paperwork proving their role to a Missouri court in the county where the property is. After doing that, they can manage that property in Missouri the same way a Missouri-appointed person would, and they can also go to court in Missouri if needed.
