it talks about what is necessary for a conservatorship. that, there you go to the court must find by clear and convincing evidence the respondent is fully or partially disabled and respond is in need of assistance from the court before a fiduciary can be appointed to exactly what you just said. is there any evidence that anyone knows of that he was in need of medical assistance? >> no. i've done my own research i cannot find anything. i do a lot of conservatorship cases in my practice normally the person they have autism are have dementia, or some type of serious mental illness where they definitely it is clear they cannot make these decisions. so the fact i cannot find anything about michael's condition, it does give to a lack of credibility on how they even obtained it i would love to see the judgment because it has to have all those details and it to indicate what judge found it, what the appointed attorney stated and the opinions of the two physicians did the evaluations. anita: a lot of unanswered question there also the question whet

can be used as evidence against you in a conservatorship proceeding to show that you need a conservatorship. there's no real ability to move down from a there's nothing saying, you know, if you meet conservatorship criteria, the higher bar, hey, we're going to offer you care court first. and there's nothing in the law that says that. so it really shuffles people kind of up into a higher level of court intervention and not down into a lower level of court intervention. let's let's get a little bit more into the qualification options for someone to be put into the care court system here. and i believe we have some of the information here on the screen. care court qualifications. you have to be 18 years of age experience seeing severe mental illness as defined by the law and not clinically stabilized can you can you first off, help us understand how is the law defining severe mental illness and what does it mean to not be clinically stabilized for a person? sure i mean, and there you immediately run into problems right there. right. because these things aren't really defined, not clinically st

voluntary but if it does not work, the case could escalate to something more restrictive like a conservatorship. some family members of the mentally ill say this could be the only way for them to survive . patricia fontana's son grew up a smart, motivated kid. he was a student at u.s. berkeley when he began to feel something happening to his mind. within two years, he was sleeping on the heating grates outside of his former classrooms. for more than a decade, he has been living on the streets. >> was there anything i could have done? how could i have done it differently? anger that you cannot get help. they don't see it as something wrong with themselves. my son would tell me, you are the one that is crazy. i am not crazy. >> while this could be the answer to the problems, disability rights programs say it is a violation of civil liberty. some say could do more harm than good because studies show forest treatment lessens the likelihood of people seeking voluntary treatment in the future. in the meantime, there is another bill on the governor's desk that could take things a step further appease

, which of course we're anticipating some major changes to conservatorship. and the definition for grave disability in the future. so just to highlight how care court looks different from out and conservatorship out i'm sorry, care court is unique in that it allows referrals from family members similar to out, but allows referrals from family members and first responders. and that's a unique part of the program. the other piece that's unique is that care court calls out the ability for the judge to appoint a supporter in somebody's case, a supporter could be a friend. it could be a peer or somebody else in the community that the person trusts. but the idea is that this is somebody outside of the treatment system who actively participates in conversations around what somebody's care plan would be and what kind of treatment services they would participate in in collaboration in with the respondent or with the person who's been referred to the program. um assisted outpatient treatment. again becoming more restrictive requires that there be negative outcomes befo
