The court appoints the deputy public defender to represent the interests of the proposed temporary conservatee as a mandatory Probate Code §2356.5(f)(1) appointment.
Petitioner friend/roommate? seeks temporary conservatorship over the person and estate of proposed conservatee. The general conservatorship hearing is set for November 2, 2018.
There is no affirmative showing establishing an exigency requiring temporary powers in advance of issuance of the court investigation report. The proposed conservatee's only identified relative, her brother George, lives nearby in Ojai. George is also alleged to be the trustee of "mother's trust" with a real property component, so it is unclear why George has not been proposed as his sister's conservator.
Discuss.
