 The Association is composed of local government officials and employees who provide services to the public through the offices of Public Administrators, Public Guardians and Public Conservators. Established over 30years ago, the Association represents all the counties of the State of California.
Collectively, these agencies act as the legal guardian or conservator for over 15,000 California residents and administer individual estates with a total value of over $250 million in cash and property.
The Association, with a broad membership base, is organized into regions to ensure statewide participation in the regular meetings and conferences held in the different counties. In addition we:
- Provide quality training certified by the Association to meet professional standards.
- Maintain liaisons with other professional associations.
- Act as a source of information for our members on legislation and new and effective programs.
- Act as consultants to local governments, at their request, as they review Public Guardian, Public Conservator or Public Administrator programs.
What does a Public Guardian and Public Conservator do?
The Public Guardian or Public Conservator (PG/PC) conducts the official County investigation into conservatorship matters. The PG/PC also acts as the legally appointed guardian or conservator for persons found by the Superior Courts to be unable to properly care for themselves or their finances or who can't resist undue influence or fraud. Such persons usually suffer from severe mental illness or are older, frail, and vulnerable adults.
What does a Public Administrator do?
The Public Administrator (PA) investigates and may administer the estates of persons who die with no will or without an appropriate person willing or able to act as administrator.
