Lawyer-client privilege: holder of the privilege.

Abstract

Existing law provides that the client of a lawyer has a privilege to refuse to disclose, and to prevent another from disclosing, a confidential communication between the client and lawyer if the privilege is claimed by the holder of the privilege. Existing law defines "holder of the privilege" to include a guardian or conservator of the client, if the client has a guardian or conservator. This bill would specify that, notwithstanding that definition, a guardian or conservator who has an actual or apparent conflict with a client does not hold the privilege.
