Oregon Statutes - Chapter 441 - Health Care Facilities - Section 441.318 - Trustee accounting; lien.

(1) Within 60 days following the creation of the trust by the court, and every 60 days thereafter, and within 30 days after the termination of the trust, the trustee shall give the court and the Department of Human Services a complete accounting of all property of which the trustee has taken possession, all funds collected under ORS 441.289 and 441.293 and all expenses incurred by the trust. The trustee shall prepare a report and file it with the court and the department making recommendations concerning the current condition of the facility and projections for future operation of the facility and the conditions of the health and welfare of the patients.

(2) If the operating funds collected by the trustee under ORS 441.289 and 441.293 exceed the reasonable expenses of the trust, the court shall order payment of the surplus to the person or body legally responsible after reimbursement to the department of funds contributed under ORS 441.303. If the operating funds are insufficient to cover the reasonable expenses of the trust, the person or body legally responsible for the facility shall be liable for the deficiency. The person or body legally responsible for the facility may apply to the court to determine the reasonableness of any expense incurred by the trust. The person or body responsible for the facility shall not be responsible for expenses in excess of what the court finds to be reasonable. Payment recovered from the person or body legally responsible for the facility shall be credited to reimburse the account for funds contributed by the department under ORS 441.303.

(3) The department shall have a lien for any deficiency under subsection (2) of this section upon any beneficial interest, direct or indirect, of any person or body legally responsible for the facility operation, of any person or body legally responsible for the building in which the facility is located or the land on which the facility is located and any fixtures, equipment or goods used in the operation of the facility and the proceeds from any conveyance of such property made by the person or body legally responsible within one year prior to the filing of the petition for appointment of a trustee.

(4) The lien provided in subsection (3) of this section is prior to any lien or other interest which originates subsequent to the filing of a petition for appointment of a trustee under ORS 441.286, except for a construction lien arising out of work performed with the express consent of the trustee.
