Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
If a family member was granted Conservatorship of a mentally disabled adult sibling, what can be done through the courts and State agencies to ensure that my sibling is being taken good care of in terms of her living conditions, medical care, food, finances and social enviornments? In my opinion the courts were deceived with the information which was presented to it in order to reach its ruling. the court has made a wrong decision in chosing this appointed conservator.
In addition, eventhough I am not the conservator, do have any rights to be entilted to some official role through the courts, state agencies, etc. to overlook the above concerns?
Please advise.

The Court probate investigator will stop in about once a year and thats it. You will need to be your sister's advocate and, if you are not satisfied with the treatment she is receiving, you can file a competing petition to have yourself appointed conservator of her person and estate. Drop in unexpectedly as often as you can without being accused of harassment!
