Summary

The Guardianship-Conservatorship Law generally establishes the powers and duties of a guardian or conservator of a person, an estate, or both. Existing law authorizes a conservator to establish the residence of a conservatee within and outside of California, as prescribed, and requires the conservator to select the least restrictive appropriate residence that is available, which existing law presumes to be the personal residence of the conservatee. Existing law requires the conservator to file a notice of change of residence with the court within 30 days of the date of the change, and requires the conservator to deliver a copy of the notice to the spouse or registered domestic partner of the conservatee, if any, and to the relatives named in the petition for appointment of the conservator, as specified, and to file proof of delivery of that notice with the court. If the conservator proposes to remove the conservatee from their personal residence, existing law requires the conservator to provide notice to those persons at least 15 days before the proposed removal of the conservatee, except as specified. Existing law, at any time after issuance of letters of guardianship or conservatorship, authorizes specified individuals, including an interested person, to file with the court clerk a written request for special notice. This bill, the Kasem-Nichols-Rooney Law, would additionally require the conservator to provide notice if the conservator proposes to remove the conservatee from their current residence. The bill also would require the conservator to provide notice under the above circumstances to a person who has requested special notice of the matter, and would define "interested person" for these purposes. When the conservator is removing the conservatee from their current residence or personal residence, the bill would require the conservator to provide notice to the designated persons at least 20 days before the proposed removal of the conservatee, except as specified. Existing law requires a conservator to provide notice of a conservatee's death by delivering a copy of the notice to specified persons and by filing a proof of delivery with the court, unless otherwise ordered by the court. This bill additionally would require the conservator to provide notice to the above-specified persons of the date, time, and location of any funeral, burial, or memorial arrangements for the conservatee, if the conservator makes those arrangements. The bill would require that notice to be delivered electronically whenever possible. This bill would define "interested person" for these purposes.
