Conservatorship of Jesse G.
Annotate this CaseJesse G. appealed the trial court’s orders appointing the Mendocino County Public Guardian conservator of his person and estate pursuant to section 5350 of the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act (LPS Act), Welf. & Inst. Code, 5000, et seq., and imposing certain special disabilities. The totality of the evidence presented in this case did not support the trial court’s finding that Jesse G. was gravely disabled under the LPS Act. The court concluded that substantial evidence did not support the trial court's finding that the public guardian satisfied its burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that Jesse G. would remain gravely disabled where the evidence at trial did not support an objective finding that he, as a result of his mental disorder, is incapacitated or rendered unable to carry out the transactions necessary for survival. Accordingly, the court reversed the order appointing a conservator.
