The following documents have not been filed with the court pursuant to the Court's order to file the documents, issued on February 18, 2026: Notice of Conservatee's Rights (Form GC-341) (Prob. Code, Sec. 1830(c).) Form GC-341 must be timely mailed to the conservatee and to the conservatee's relatives within the second degree (grandparents, parents, siblings, adult children, and adult grandchildren). No Proof of Service is on file.

Confidential Conservatorship Care Plan (Forms GC-355 and GC-356) (Prob. Code, Sec. 2351.2, 2352.5.) Conservators must file Forms GC-355 and GC-356 showing specific details about where the conservatee lives or has been temporarily placed, the level of care necessary to provide for the conservatee's needs, the medical condition and treatment of the conservatee, as well as any plan to return the conservatee to their primary place of residence from a temporary care placement.

PLEASE NOTE: Form GC-355 completely changed as of January 1, 2025 due to the passing of SB280, and GC-356 was newly created as a result of that law. The GC-355 form you submit must be the form revised on January 1, 2025. Please also be aware that Form GC-356 must be submitted in all cases, unless a first-degree relative is appointed a limited conservator and must include confidential medical information in response to paragraph 4 of GC-355 (at 4a or 4b) . No earlier iteration of form GC-355 is acceptable to fulfil this duty. No current Form GC-355 is on file.

PLEASE NOTE: Failure to submit the required documents listed in the previous Conservator Compliance Order is a breach of fiduciary duty as a conservator, and can result in removal as conservator and surcharge. (Prob. Code, Sec. 2650(c).) If you are removed from office, a successor conservator will be appointed and will be entitled to collect fees. The death of the conservatee does not relieve a conservator of the duty to cure the deficiencies from the previous hearings.
