Legal Question in Elder Law in California

Re: Conservertorship and Wills

This should not be true, but it's possible the will could have a broad "no-contest" clause including a conservatorship--I've never seen one, though.

What may happen is that if the person still has some capacity he may be upset and remove you from the will--the capacity for writing/changing a will is less than the capacity required to avoid a conservatorship.

It's also possible the person has a trust, and the conservatorship may trigger some kind of no-contest clause in the trust (if the person is incapacitated, though, a successor trustee should be stepping in to take over). Review the facts with a conservatorship lawyer--if there are potential issues, perhaps someone else could petition for the conservatorship and nominate you or another qualified person.
