A:
After filing a petition to remove and replace the conservator of your grandmother and her estate in California, the court will schedule a hearing to consider your petition. It's important to prepare for this hearing by gathering evidence that supports your claim that the current conservator is not acting in your grandmother's best interests. This evidence might include documentation of the estate sale, efforts to evict you, and any instances of isolating your grandmother.
Before the hearing, you should also notify all interested parties, including family members and possibly the current conservator, about the petition and the hearing date. This is a legal requirement and ensures that everyone involved has an opportunity to be heard.
At the hearing, you will have the opportunity to present your case to the judge, including any evidence and testimony that supports your claim. The current conservator will also have a chance to respond to your allegations.
The court will consider all the evidence and arguments to decide whether the current conservator should be removed and replaced. The judge's decision will be based on what is in the best interest of your grandmother, including her welfare and financial interests.
If the court finds your arguments compelling and agrees that the current conservator is not acting in your grandmother's best interest, the judge may order the removal of the conservator. Following this, the court will also consider the appointment of a new conservator, which could be you or another suitable person.
Since this is a complex legal matter, it might be beneficial to seek guidance from an attorney who is experienced in conservatorship law. They can help you navigate the legal process, prepare your case, and represent you in court.
