A is for Arrogance

How can a court appointed conservator who knows nothing about a family's dynamics, who makes decisions based on hearsay and gossip and who is a total stranger to the conservatee possibly know what is best for that person?

How can a court appointed conservator make life and death medical decisions without the court's approval or knowledge?

How can a court appointed conservator move a conservatee from their home without the court's approval eventhough it is prohibited by California law?

Why would a court appointed conservator hire unlicensed caregivers to care for the conservatee and isolate the conservatee from their family?

How can a court appointed conservator who is appointed to protect the conservatee allow every one of the conservatee's rights to be violated?

It happens every day with conservators appointed by San Francisco's Probate Court.  Believe it!
