Case Type Conservatorship Hearing Date / Time Mon, 08/24/2026 - 08:30 Nature of Proceedings Petition to Appoint Limited Conservator Tentative Ruling Probate Notes: Appearances required.

The following defects must be corrected before the hearing: Properly Executed Capacity Declaration. The Confidential Capacity Assessment and Declaration was executed by what appears to be a nurse practitioner. 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 Court does not read the terms "Physician" or "Psychologist" so broad as to include Nurse Practitioners or Physician's Assistants, thus cannot hold either can properly execute the Capacity Declaration without a licensed Physician or Psychologist's accompanying signature.

Petitioner must present Judicial Council form GC-335 to a licensed California Physician or Psychologist for signature, and file the completed form with the court.
