Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
need advice about probate conservator
My stepfather is trying to have himself appointed probate conservator for my
mother. This goes against what my mother stated she wants. My sister and
myself want to stop this from happening. We just got the letter a few days
ago stating that is going to court on Febuary 14th. We have not been able to
find a lawyer willing to help us on such short notice.
My stepfather has made some very bad choices regarding my mothers care
such as cancelling her long term health care insurance AFTER she was
diagnosed with Alheizmers and refusing to get her the medical help she
needed. We also think he has transfered two cars out of her name and into
his own after she got sick.
We want to get the court to delay making a decision on the 14th so we can
can have time to find a lawyer and get prepared.
We are not trying to gain control of my mothers assets we just want to make
sure that my stepfather doesn�t spend all her money and then leave my
mother broke and not able to pay for her care.

You should file an objection with the court, and perhaps a petitionof your own for conservatorship.
Re: need advice about probate conservator
You should object to the appointment of your stepfather as conservator, preferably in writing, but in any case no later than the hearing. If you need representation, please contact me as soon as possible.
