The court appoints the deputy public defender to represent the interests of the proposed conservatee as a mandatory Probate Code §1471(b) appointment.
According to the court investigator's report, the proposed conservatee is currently residing in a locked facility in Pico Rivera. It is unclear if there is court-ordered authorization for the restraint pursuant to some form of LPS hold. The confidential supplemental information form states that conservatee "requires a locked long-term facility", which the court to probate conservatorship cannot accomplish absent a §2256.5 diagnosis of dementia. The petition does not include a dementia attachment, and as yet there is no GC-335 capacity declaration on file.
At a minimum, the proposed conservatee will need to be brought to court to meet with her attorney and for the court to give advisements and make inquiry.
Discuss.
