A good question for the court is does the conservator hold any responsibility for a conservatee's violent actions?
Let say for sake the conservatee makes a threat against another person and a Tarasaoff warning is issued. The appropriate people are given notice of the intent and dagner that the conservatee poses. After that the conservatee finds a way to carry out his threat. If so who is responsible.? Given that proper notice and protective actions are taken the therapist or which ever professional is told, they are considered to have properly fulfilled their duty. However, what about the conservator? If the LPS conservator has been demonstrated to enact reasonable efforts to prevent the conservatee from behaving in a dangerous manner are they still liable? Usually the court would rule that the conservator is not liable but it does vary county to county. Love to hear input about this.
