Comprehensive Conservatorship Representation in California Courts

Establishing legal authority over an incapacitated loved one requires strict adherence to the California Probate Code. Whether petitioning for conservatorship or addressing family disputes, our experienced probate lawyers ensure every petition and hearing proceeds smoothly. Core practice areas include:

• Aging Adult Conservatorships: Securing conservatorship of the person and estate for seniors suffering from Alzheimer disease, severe dementia, or stroke.
• Limited Conservatorships: Safeguarding developmentally disabled young adults transitioning into adulthood with conditions such as autism or Down syndrome.
• Emergency Conservatorships: Acting swiftly when urgent legal intervention is necessary to prevent acute elder abuse, financial exploitation, or self-neglect.
• Contested Conservatorship Litigation: Resolving courtroom disputes when relatives disagree on who should be appointed conservator.
• Fiduciary Guidance: Assisting conservators with statutory accountings, court bonding, and ongoing inventory compliance.

Proactive Estate Planning and Conservatorship Avoidance

While court-ordered conservatorships are vital during sudden crises, proactive planning helps families avoid court oversight entirely. Working with our wills lawyers, trusts lawyers, and power of attorney lawyers allows you to establish durable financial powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and revocable living trusts. These instruments designate trusted decision-makers in advance, protecting your family from stressful and costly probate proceedings.

Special Needs Trusts and Asset Protection

For families caring for individuals with developmental or acquired disabilities, maintaining government benefits is essential. As experienced wills, estate planning and probate lawyers, our attorneys establish first-party and third-party special needs trusts that preserve inheritances and personal injury settlements without interrupting eligibility for Medi-Cal and Supplemental Security Income.
