CA SB602

Requires conservators to file a care plan within 60 days of appointment and within 30 days before a conservatorship continuation or termination hearing, effective January 1, 2024.

Care plan must include conservatee's living arrangements, level of care, health status, medications, visitation schedule, activities, financial information, health care providers, planned asset sales, and protection of valuable personal property over $500.

Judicial Council must develop a mandatory care plan form by January 1, 2024, which may be combined with other required court filings.

Care plans are confidential and delivered only to specified individuals including the conservatee, their attorney, conservator's attorney, and immediate family members, with medical information redacted before delivery to relatives.

Court may impose civil penalties up to $1,000 payable to the conservatee's estate for failure to file a care plan, refer professional fiduciaries to the Professional Fiduciaries Bureau, or remove the conservator.
