§ 1418 Guardianship Court Definition

Probate Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

This law says that whenever the word “Court” is used in a guardianship or conservatorship case, it means the specific court where that case is currently being heard.

Key Takeaways

•The definition only applies in guardianship or conservatorship proceedings.
•“Court” always points to the court where the case is pending.
•It helps avoid confusion about which court is being referenced.

Example

A guardian files a report and writes, “The Court approved the payment plan.”

Because the case is a guardianship matter, “the Court” simply refers to the same court that is handling the guardian’s case, not any other court.
