Case Deals With Probate Code Section 3809’s Focus On Conservatee Support Expenses, Not Conservatorship Professional Expenses.
On April 16, 2016, we posted on Conservatorship of Bower, a Fourth District, Division 3 decision which was unpublished at the time. It dealt with whether Probate Code section 3809 was a proper vehicle to award conservatorship professional expenses (such as attorney’s fees). We can now provide an update—the decision was certified for publication on May 16, 2016.
