A conservator is only allowed to purchase life insurance with the conservatorship assets, with a prior court order.
A California conservator needs a court order to purchase life insurance on the life of the conservatee, with the assets of the conservatorship estate. Because the purchase of such a life insurance is with the conservatee’s assets, the conservator has to show that the purchase would be a) desired by the conservatee; and b) would be reasonable, in light of the costs to the conservatee. For example, if a conservatee would normally be obligated to support a spouse or a minor child, the court may consider that as a legitimate reason for the conservator to apply to the court for such a purchase.
The designation of a beneficiary of a life insurance in conservatorships requires a Substituted Judgment Petition made to the court.
