This Court must be petitioned for the power to sell the conservatee's personal or former residence before " any significant resources" are committed to the sale. (Prob. Code, Sec.2540(c).) There is no court order on file granting the conservator the authority to sell the subject property.
Missing allegations. The following allegations are required by Probate Code section 2540(b), but are missing from the petition: Conservator discussed the proposed sale with the conservatee. Conservatee supports sale (or is opposed). (Prob. Code, Sec. 2540(b).) Circumstances that necessitate the proposed sale, including whether the conservatee has the ability to live in the personal residence and why other alternatives, including, but not limited to, in-home care services, are not available.
Notice is Inadequate. Notice must conform to the same requirements in the provisions governing the sale of real property in decedent's estates. (Prob. Code, Sec. 2543(b).) This includes publication, posting notice by the court clerk, etc. (Prob. Code, Sec.Sec.10308(c); 1230.)

Code, Sec.Sec.1220(a)(2)(B), 10308(c), and 11601.) Proofs of Service must be filed using form GC-020, attaching form GC-020(C) to that notice.

Appraisal Older than Six Months. The conservatee's personal residence must be appraised less than six months prior to the confirmation hearing. (Prob. Code, Sec.2543(c).) The Court has the discretion to find that it is in the best interests of the conservatee to rely on an appraisal of the subject property that was conducted not more than one year prior, if a compelling reason is presented. (Ibid.)
