Prob. Code, § 1849 · Article 5. Special Provisions Applicable Where Proposed Conservatee Is a Missing Person
Prob. Code, § 1849
Text — As published in the Legislative Counsel's database, tables dated October 18, 2026 (pubinfo_2025.zip)
A conservator of the estate of a person who is missing and whose whereabouts is unknown may be appointed only if the court finds all of the following:
(a) The proposed conservatee owns or is entitled to the possession of real or personal property located in this state. In a proceeding to transfer a conservatorship of a missing person to this state under Article 3 (commencing with Section 2001) of Chapter 8, this requirement is also satisfied if the court finds that the proposed conservatee owns or is entitled to the possession of personal property that is to be relocated to this state upon approval of the transfer.
(b) The proposed conservatee remains missing and his or her whereabouts remains unknown.
(c) The estate of the proposed conservatee requires attention, supervision, and care.
