MCLE: Become a Volunteer in a Conservatorship Clinic
Monday, Oct. 22, 2018 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
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
