Proof of Personal Service of Citation. In a conservatorship proceeding, jurisdiction is obtained through personal service of a citation and a copy of the petition for conservatorship upon the proposed conservatee. The notice must be personally delivered to the proposed conservatee at least 5 court days before the hearing. A copy of the petition for temporary appointment shall be served with the notice of hearing. (Prob. Code, Sec. 2250(e)(2).) There is no Proof of Service of the citation on file.

Proof of Service on Relatives. Notice of the hearing shall be served five days prior to the hearing on the proposed conservatee's spouse, parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, and brothers and sisters (named in the Petition for Appointment of Conservator at P. 11). [Prob. C. Sec. 2250(e)(2)] The Code does not specify the method of service, but service by mail is presumably sufficient.

This form was adopted for mandatory use as of January 1, 2025. This form must be filed, or the proposed conservatee will be expected to attend the hearing.

Capacity Declaration (GC-335) - No order adjudging that conservatee lacks capacity to give informed consent to medical treatment may be granted unless supported by a declaration executed by a licensed physician or licensed psychologist supporting the request. (Prob. Code, Sec. 1890(c).) The proposed temporary conservatee is expected to attend the hearing. (Prob. Code, Sec. 2250.4.)
