CONSERVATORSHIP OF K.L.
— STAFF
In the absence of substantial evidence that a proposed conservatee lacks capacity to waive jury or that counsel or the trial court advised them of their jury trial right, we hold that a written citation simply informing a proposed conservatee of their right to a jury trial is inadequate to waive jury.
Cal. Ct. App. · reversed
