2016
. (a) Upon registration of a conservatorship order from another
state and the filing by the conservator of an acknowledgment of
receipt of the written information required by Section 2015, the
conservator may, while the conservatee resides out of this state,
exercise in any county of this state all powers authorized in the
order of appointment except as prohibited under the laws of this
state, including maintaining actions and proceedings in this state
and, if the conservator is not a resident of this state, subject to
any conditions imposed upon nonresident parties. When acting pursuant
to registration, the conservator is subject to the law of this state
governing the action, including, but not limited to, all applicable
procedures, and is not authorized to take any action prohibited by
the law of this state. If a law of this state, including, but not
limited to, Section 2352, 2352.5, 2355, 2356.5, 2540, 2543, 2545, or
2591.5, or Article 2 (commencing with Section 1880) of Chapter 4 of
Part 4, mandates compliance with special requirements to exercise a
particular conservatorship power or take a particular step, the
conservator of a registered conservatorship may not exercise that
power or take that step without first complying with those special
requirements.
(b) (1) When subdivision (a) requires a conservator to comply with
a law of this state that makes it necessary to obtain court approval
or take other action in court, the conservator shall seek that
approval or proceed as needed in an appropriate court of this state.
In handling the matter, that court shall communicate and cooperate
with the court that is supervising the conservatorship, in accordance
with Sections 1984 and 1985.
(2) In addition to providing any other notice required by law, the
conservator shall provide notice of a court proceeding under
paragraph (1) to all of the following:
(A) The court supervising the conservatorship.
(B) Every person who would be entitled to notice of a petition for
the appointment of a conservator in the state where the
conservatorship is being supervised.
(C) Every person who would be entitled to notice of a petition for
the appointment of a conservator in this state.
(3) Any person entitled to notice under paragraph (2) may raise an
objection or otherwise participate in the proceeding in the same
manner as other persons are allowed to do under the law of this
state.
(c) Subdivision (a) applies only when the conservatee resides out
of this state. When the conservatee resides in this state, a
conservator may not exercise any powers pursuant to a registration
under this article.
(d) A court of this state may grant any relief available under
this chapter and other law of this state to enforce a registered
order.
