Legal Question in Elder Law in California

Re: what's mom up to?

The first, and best advice I could give you, is get to an attorney specializing in elder law immediately. This would not necessarily be an attorney representing you but one would represent your grandmother. Years ago and the long recognized that those for whom conservatorships were requested, should have due process. It sounds like she does needy conservatory even though we do not know how long that conservator would stay in place in till she passed away. Tell the attorney all your concerns to make sure the debt attorney understands the specific problems. Give the attorney as much information about her assets as possible. There are specific requirements of a conservatory in court and the accounting may have to do as to all of the assets of the conservatee, your grandmother. You would not once your mother dealing with some assets and then not reporting them to the court. Yours is not a unique situation and court, having dealt in conservatorships on a regular basis, can help in protecting your grandmother to a point. But, the court must be guided and told what is going on and the problem. That would be the position and job in part of your grandmother's attorney to protect her. Do this immediately. At worst, go to the hearing and explain the problem to the judge. Most courts will allow you to speak and explain your concerns. At that point you would ask for continuance so you can I read attorney for your grandmother. This is a very significant step and it sounds like the "family feud" has already started. I would imagine you should not plan on Thanksgiving dinner with your mother this year unless everybody starts thinking alike. Additionally, if you're that concern maybe you should ask that you become your grandmother's conservator. A thought not a recommendation necessarily.
