A: To resign as a conservator in West Virginia while you are in California, you can file the necessary paperwork remotely. First, you should obtain the appropriate resignation forms from the county court in West Virginia where the conservatorship was established.

Fill out these forms with the required information, including your reasons for resigning as conservator. It's important to be thorough and clear in your explanations, as the court will review these reasons when considering your resignation.

Once you have completed the forms, you can mail them to the court in West Virginia. However, it's advisable to first contact the court clerk to confirm the correct mailing address and any specific procedures or additional documents that may be required. Some courts may also accept filings electronically, so inquire if this option is available.

You may also need to provide notice to other interested parties, such as the conservatee and other family members, depending on West Virginia’s legal requirements.

Given the legal complexities involved, consider consulting with an attorney who has experience in conservatorship law. They can guide you through the process and ensure that your resignation is handled appropriately and in compliance with both West Virginia and California laws. Remember, handling this correctly is crucial to ensure a smooth transition and protect the interests of the conservatee.
