Conservatorship of Matthesius CA4/2
Once a conservatorship is established in California over a California resident, the conservator must obtain the probate court’s permission if they want to move the conservatee to another state. (Prob. Code, § 2352 [petition to establish residence of conservatee out of state]; unlabeled statutory citations refer to this code.) In such cases, the Probate Code presumes the conservatee’s California home is the “least restrictive appropriate residence” and requires the conservator to prove otherwise by a preponderance of the evidence. (§ 2352.5, subd. (a).)
