§ 1457 Conservator Guardian Training Program

The law says the Judicial Council must create a short, free training program (no more than three hours) for people who want to be a non‑professional conservator or guardian.

Key Takeaways

  • •The program must be ready by Jan 1, 2008.
  • •It can’t be longer than three hours.
  • •It must be free for anyone who isn’t a licensed professional conservator or guardian.
  • •It can be delivered by video or on the Internet.

Example

Jane wants to become her brother’s legal guardian because he can’t manage his money. She can sign up for a free three‑hour online class that the Judicial Council provides.

Because Jane isn’t a licensed professional, the law makes sure she can get easy, free training before the court approves her as guardian.
