In California, many families struggle to care for adults who are not able to care for themselves. A conservatorship is a proceeding where a judge appoints a responsible person or organization to assist an adult with a disability with personal care or finances. This session provides general information about the court process and trains volunteers to provide one-on-one assistance in document preparation, signing, and filing.

Training covers:

• Screening for appropriateness of probate conservatorships or available alternatives
• Providing referrals for other types of assistance
• Overview of conservatorship law
• Rights of the conservatee and responsibilities of the conservator
• Preparing petition forms and next steps for service of process and filing
