1860.5
. (a) A limited conservatorship continues until the
authority of the conservator is terminated by one of the following:
(1) The death of the limited conservator.
(2) The death of the limited conservatee.
(3) By an order appointing a conservator of the former limited
conservatee.
(4) By an order of the court stating that the limited
conservatorship is no longer necessary for the limited conservatee
and terminating the limited conservatorship.
(b) A petition for the termination of a limited conservatorship
may be filed by any of the following:
(1) The limited conservator.
(2) The limited conservatee.
(3) Any relative or friend of the limited conservatee.
(c) The petition shall state facts showing that the limited
conservatorship is no longer required.
(d) The petition shall be set for hearing and notice thereof shall
be given to the persons in the same manner as provided for a
petition for the appointment of a limited conservator. The limited
conservator in such case, if he or she is not the petitioner or has
not joined in the petition, shall be served with a notice of the time
and place of the hearing accompanied by a copy of the petition at
least five days prior to the hearing. Such service shall be made in
the same manner provided for in Section 415.10 or 415.30 of the Code
of Civil Procedure or in such other manner as may be authorized by
the court. If the limited conservator cannot, with reasonable
diligence, be so served with notice, the court may dispense with
notice.
(e) The limited conservator or any relative or friend of the
limited conservatee may appear and oppose the petition. The court
shall hear and determine the matter according to the laws and
procedures relating to the trial of civil actions, including trial by
jury if demanded. If it is determined that the limited
conservatorship is no longer required, the limited conservatorship
shall cease. If the petition alleges and if it is determined that the
limited conservatee is able to properly care for himself or herself
and for his or her property, the court shall make such finding and
enter judgment accordingly. The limited conservator may at the
hearing, or thereafter on further notice and hearing, be discharged
and his or her bond exonerated upon the settlement and approval of
the final account by the court.
