(1) Existing law requires a conservator of a person to be responsible for the care, custody, control, and education of a conservatee, except where the court, in its discretion, limits the powers and duties of the conservator. Existing law also provides that the conservator's control of the conservatee shall not extend to personal rights retained by the conservatee, including, but not limited to, the right to receive visitors, telephone calls, and personal mail, unless specifically limited by a court order. This bill would provide that a court order may be issued that specifically grants the conservator the power to limit or enforce the conservatee's right to receive visitors, telephone calls, and personal mail. The bill would state findings and declarations of the Legislature in this regard. (2) Existing law additionally authorizes an adult with capacity to execute a power of attorney for health care. This bill would require a conservator to provide notice of a conservatee's death by mailing a copy of the notice to specified persons, as provided. The bill would require an attorney-in-fact, if directed by the principal in a power of attorney for health care, upon the death of the principal, to inform those individuals whose names are provided by the principal for that purpose.
