On April 23, 2026, Robin McPeek filed a temporary and a general Petition to be appointed conservator over the proposed conservatee's person and estate. The Petition for Temporary Conservatorship was continued to June 24, 2026, which makes that petition now moot. The Petition for General Conservatorship received two objections.

Randy Nichols withdrew his objection, leaving only the objection of Leanna Garner on file. That objection places the matter at issue, requiring evidentiary hearing to resolve. The following is noted for the Court: Confidential Declaration on Medical Ability to Attend Hearing (GC-325) - As of January 1, 2025, the ability of the proposed conservatee to attend the hearing will be determined on evidence submitted on Judicial Counsel form

Code, Sec. 1825.) (Prob. Code, Sec. 1825(a)(2)[medical inability].)
