California Form GC-340 is the court order used to appoint a successor probate conservator in California. This order is issued when a current conservator needs to be replaced due to death, incapacity, or resignation. The court examines whether the conservatee still requires assistance and confirms that the proposed successor is qualified for the role. The order specifies the conservator's authority over the person, the estate, or both. It also addresses the conservatee's medical consent rights, voting rights, and bond requirements. Additional provisions cover limited conservatorships, professional conservators, and cases involving dementia or developmental disability. Judges review all submitted evidence carefully before signing the GC-340 order.
