LPS conservatorships MUST be started by a local government agency, usually a county's Public Guardian or Public Conservator. LPS conservatorships last for only 1 year. If they are needed longer than that, they must be restarted and the conservator must be reappointed by the court.
Conservatorship must be court-ordered and is based on medical proof, such as physical or psychological evaluations, as well as lay witness testimony describing the individual's inability to care for him or herself. Any interested party (not just a relative) can petition the court for conservatorship.
There are two types of conservatorships: general and limited. A general conservatorship is established for an adult who needs the assistance of another party to handle their finances and other affairs. General conservatorships are granted to those who are elderly or have been impaired by an illness or accident.
