Shareholder Andrew Verriere highlights Governor Newsom’s recently signed AB 1194, which expands the protections for conservatees and proposed conservatees in California. Among other things, (1) their attorneys are required to serve as advocates rather than advising the court on the attorney’s perception of what is in the conservatee’s or proposed conservatee’s best interests, (2) they can select their own counsel, and (3) provides for investigation of alleged abuse by fiduciaries with increased penalties for those found liable.

You can find a short update on the statute at Bloomberg Tax.

Separate property is all property owned by the person before the marriage, all property acquired by the person after marriage by gift, bequest or devise, and the rents and profits from the person’s separate property.
