Conservatorship of A.L. CA6
The conservatee, A.L. (Allen), was involuntarily committed by the superior court in early 1984 in proceedings under the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act (Welf. & Inst.Code, § 5000 et seq.; LPS Act or Act), the court finding Allen gravely disabled under the Act. Allen’s sister, P.L. (Pamela), was named conservator of the person. Pamela remained as Allen’s conservator over the next 32 years, with both of them living in California and, for 10 years, in Nevada. In the summer of 2016, Pamela, as conservator, filed separate petitions for least restrictive placement and for reappointment as conservator for an additional year. After multiple hearings, and after the removal of Allen from institutional care and his placement in Pamela’s home, the court on August 19, 2016, over Pamela’s objection, dismissed both petitions and terminated the LPS conservatorship.
