    PUBLIC GUARDIAN
    The Office of the Public Guardian ensures the physical and financial safety of persons unable to do so on their own, and when there are no viable alternatives to a public conservatorship. Probate conservatorships are primarily established for frail adults who are unable to provide for their own personal needs for physical health, food, clothing and/or shelter, cannot manage their own finances or are subject to fraud or undue influence. LPS conservatorships are established to arrange mental health treatment and placement for people who are gravely disabled and unable to provide for their food, clothing, shelter and treatment needs as a result of a mental disorder. Services are defined and directed by the Superior Court.

    THE OPPORTUNITY
    Incumbents learn and perform routine conservatorship duties including assessing individuals for eligibility into the program, and learning the rules and regulations with respect to the different types of conservatorship, e.g., LPS (Lanterman-Petris-Short) conservatorships and probate conservatorships. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; general supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently.

    • Perform fiscal management and Representative Payee services for assigned clients; obtain and research any planning and financial documents; budget the client's income; ensure that funds are available for rent/care and client personal needs; pay bills; work with financial institutions to marshal client assets and obtain funds; arrange for storage and/or disposition of property; process all legal documents and procedures on behalf of clients; upon case closure, ensure the proper distribution of estate assets to beneficiaries and the Sheriff/Coroner/Public Administrator.
    • Ensure that clients receive the correct level of care for their needs; assess gaps in care and coordinates services to fill these gaps; communicate with medical health providers to ensure proper care.
    • When acting as conservator for a client with a mental disorder, discuss the client with behavioral health professionals to determine the prognosis for release; assist the client in location of housing or other placement; monitor funds for client; follow actions of client to ensure that they are meeting their obligations and taking medication as directed; may recommend and assist in returning the client to a locked facility.
    • Prepare documentation outlining client interactions and communications, including services provided and service plans.
    • Assist client in pursuing other community-based resources and/or financial benefits to which they may be entitled; act as an advocate for client with Social Security, Medi-Cal, Veterans Service, State Disability, and other agencies; represent client in dealing with federal, state, and local agencies and financial institutions.
    • Explain complex legal policies, conservatorship, financial arrangements; answer questions from client and family members; provide information and direction to community members.
