LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2236, as introduced, Maienschein.
Conservatorships.
Existing law provides that a conservatorship continues until terminated by the death of the conservatee or by order of the court. Notwithstanding that provision, existing law provides that a conservator continues to have the duty of custody and conservation of the estate after the death of the conservatee pending the delivery of the estate to the conservatee’s estate or other disposition according to law. Existing law further provides that upon the death of a conservatee, the conservator is authorized to contract for and pay for the reasonable expenses of the deceased conservator and the unpaid expenses of the conservatorship from any personal property under the control of the conservator.
This bill would clarify that a conservatorship continues until terminated by the death of the conservatee, subject to the existing provisions of law described
above that continue to authorize a conservator to take certain actions with regard to the estate of a deceased conservatee.
