In California, many families struggle to care for adults who are not able to care for themselves. For these families, a court-approved conservatorship may help. It allows a responsible person or organization to assist an adult with personal care or finances. This session provides general information about the court process and help in preparing and filing documents to request appointment as a probate conservator.

Class covers:
• Screening for appropriateness of probate conservatorships or available alternatives
• Referrals for other types of assistance
• Overview of conservatorship law
• Rights of the conservatee and responsibilities of the conservator
• The court forms needed to request a conservatorship
• The petitioning process—what to expect before and after the hearing
