谁发起LPS保护?

Referrals for LPS conservatorship are only received from the designated 5150 facilities (Kern Medical Center, 好撒玛利亚人, 和克雷斯伍德PHF), 和高等法院. The designated 5150 facilities can only initiate a conservatorship referral for an individual who has been involuntarily held on the unit via a 5150, and certified for an additional 14 days of intensive treatment via the 5250. At the conclusion of the probable cause hearing, the facility physician can initiate a referral for investigation into the appropriateness of establishing an 有限合伙人接管. If after a thorough investigation by Public Conservator staff there exists a need for conservatorship, a petition will be filed with the Superior Court for a 30 day Temporary Conservatorship. The Court may appoint a Temporary Conservator, Ex Parte (without hearing). The Public Conservator is appointed the temporary conservator in all cases.
When is the Public Conservator appointed?

The Public Conservator will serve as "permanent" conservator where conservatorship is required and there is no one else willing or qualified to serve.
What are the legal limitations of an LPS conservatorship?

A permanent LPS conservatorship automatically terminates after one year (excluding the period of temporary conservatorship). If at that time the conservatee is still gravely disabled, the conservator must obtain the opinion of two physicians or psychologists, 或者两者中的一个, in order to initiate further Court proceedings to reestablish the conservatorship for another year. The goal of the conservatorship is to assist the conservatee in eliminating the behaviors that render him/her gravely disabled. An LPS conservatee may be placed in a locked psychiatric facility against his/her will, and may be forced to take psychotropic medications against his/her will. All proposed conservatees are interviewed by and represented in Court by an attorney. The conservatee is entitled to a Court or jury trial if he/she objects to the ongoing conservatorship.
What rights are denied an LPS conservatee?

Upon Court confirmation the following rights may be denied: (a) the right to enter into contracts; (b) the privilege of possessing a license to operate a motor vehicle; and (c) the right to possess and carry firearms. The conservator shall have the right to refuse or consent to medical treatment related specifically to the conservatee's grave disability and to routine medical treatment. Any invasive treatment requires Court approval.
Can an LPS conservatee request termination of the conservatorship?

The conservatee has the right to request a rehearing to terminate the conservatorship; however, only one such request shall be made within a six-month period.
