Conservatorship of Priess
In July 2011, the probate court removed Ann Priess Fiedler from her position as conservator of the person of Alfred W. Priess, her father, after concluding she had shown a continued failure to perform the duties of conservator. The court also concluded Alfred should be returned to Mississippi to live with George Priess, Alfred’s son and Ann’s brother, with whom Alfred had been living since 2008.[1] On appeal, Ann contends: (1) the probate court abused its discretion by applying irrelevant or incorrect legal standards to the question of where Alfred should live; (2) the evidence did not support the court’s finding that Ann failed to adequately perform her conservator duties; and (3) the court improperly failed to consider a report issued by an expert pursuant to Evidence Code section 730. We find no error and affirm the probate court’s order.
