RESOLUTION RATIFYING THE PUBLIC GUARDIAN PROGRAM’S EMERGENCY LOANS OF $267,675.21 TO CONSERVATEES TO PAY FOR NECESSARY SERVICES PRIOR TO LIQUIDATION OF THE CONSERVATEES’ ASSETS

______________________________________________________________

RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Mateo, State of California, that

 

WHEREAS, the Aging and Adult Services Division provides a Public Guardian/Conservatorship Program, which serves frail elderly, physically disabled and mentally disabled residents who are substantially unable to provide for their own personal needs of health, food, clothing or shelter and/or are unable to manage financial resources or resist fraud or undue influence; and

 

WHEREAS, the Public Guardian, acting under the authority and direction of the Superior Court, may be appointed for the person, for the estate, or for both. The general duties of a Conservator of the Person include arranging for the person’s care and protection, deciding where a person will live, and making arrangements for health care, meals, clothing, personal care, and transportation. The general duties of a Conservator of the Estate include managing the person’s finances, marshalling and protecting assets, collecting all income due to the person, paying all just debts, making investments as appropriate, and representing or arranging representation in all legal matters; and

 

WHEREAS, there are often situations where the Public Guardian Program must arrange for care of the client before being able to liquidate client’s assets; and

 

WHEREAS, the Public Guardian Program has sought and received court authority to loan a total of $267,675.21 to five conservatees in order to pay for necessary attendant care services while the conservatees’ assets are being liquidated; and

 

WHEREAS, once the conservatees’ assets have been liquidated, the Public Guardian Program will be reimbursed through the proceeds:

 
 

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED that the President of this Board of Supervisors be and is hereby authorized and directed to ratify the Public Guardian Program’s loan of funds to conservatees to pay for necessary services prior to liquidation of conservatees’ assets for and on behalf of the County of San Mateo, and the Clerk of this Board shall attest the President’s signature thereto.
