A conservatorship is established through a court proceeding in California.  If granted by the Probate Court, the court authorizes a person or entity to be responsible and care for the health, finances, and assets of an affected person who has been deemed not able to take care of these necessities.

• Affected person is unable to manage health, finance, and assets
• Affected person doesn’t have anyone legally responsible for their care
• Affected person has no other means of financial assistance/help

• Individual or entity files a petition in probate court
• Sworn testimony and medical affidavits are submitted to court
• Petitioners are usually family, friends, or rest home administrators
• Court appoints “Guardian Ad Litern” to report findings to the court
• If affected person disagrees with having a conservator, trial is set
• If court approves conservatorship, then conservator is appointed
• Court then gives conservator Letters of Authority authorizing Conservator to act on behalf of the Conservatee
