Conservatorship Orientation:

Tulare County Superior Court Rule 1009 requires each proposed conservator to view the educational program provided by the court.  This program provides an overview of the duties of a conservator. The orientation is divided into two sections.  The first section covers the general orientation for all conservators. The second section is a video, “With Heart.”
