Abstract

The focus of this project was to create a simplistic yet thorough curriculum and teach a few individual community members how to become a probate conservator without the use of a lawyer or a government entity. I developed a curriculum in the style of a self-help manuscript to keep the information simple and accessible, and the Public Guardian identified individuals who were interested in participating in the project. The participants were given a copy of the curriculum, reviewed the curriculum with the investigator and sent follow up questions to the investigator via email. Improvements were made to the curriculum so it can be used in future workshops for community members and professional agencies. This is beneficial for the Humboldt County Public Guardian in it helps to fulfill their mandate of exhausting all options for conservatorship.
