Section 2017 Of Article 4. Registration And Recognition Of Orders From Other States From California Probate Code >> Division 4. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 8. >> Article 4.
2017
. (a) A third person who acts in good faith reliance on a
conservatorship order registered under this article is not liable to
any person for so acting if all of the following requirements are
satisfied:
(1) The conservator presents to the third person a file-stamped
copy of the registration documents required by Section 2011, 2012, or
2013, including, but not limited to, the certified copy of the
conservatorship order.
(2) Each of the registration documents, including, but not limited
to, the conservatorship order and the file-stamped cover sheet,
appears on its face to be valid.
(3) The conservator presents to the third person a form approved
by the Judicial Council, in which the conservator attests that the
conservatee does not reside in this state and the conservator
promises to promptly notify the third person if the conservatee
becomes a resident of this state. The form shall also prominently
state that the registration is effective only while the conservatee
resides in another jurisdiction and does not authorize the
conservator to take any action while the conservatee is residing in
this state.
(4) The third person has not received any actual notice that the
conservatee is residing in this state.
(b) Nothing in this section is intended to create an implication
that a third person is liable for acting in reliance on a
conservatorship order registered under this article under
circumstances where the requirements of subdivision (a) are not
satisfied. Nothing in this section affects any immunity that may
otherwise exist apart from this section.
