A mental health (LPS) conservatorship makes one adult (called the conservator) responsible for a mentally ill adult (called the conservatee). These conservatorships are only for adults with mental illnesses listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).
What is LPS? The Lanterman-Petris-Short Act is a division of the California Welfare and Institutions Code that was enacted in 1969 to eliminate the inappropriate, indefinite, involuntary commitment of mentally disordered persons.
People under conservatorship are stripped of their civil liberties and their autonomy. Conservatees are at risk of abuse and exploitation by their conservatorships.
A limited conservatorship is a type of probate conservatorship for people who are developmentally disabled. Developmentally disabled people can usually do many things a conservatee cannot do. So, the Court limits their conservators powers.
Typically, people with serious mental illness who are deemed gravely disabled are not compliant with their treatment and medication. The LPS conservatorship allows the conservator to choose the appropriate living arrangement (such as locked facilities) and treatment (including psychotropic drugs) for the conservatee.

The conservator, by assuming the responsibility for these matters, becomes legally accountable to the court. There are two types of conservatorship managed by the Public Guardian: Lanterman-Petris Short (LPS) Conservatorships and Probate Conservatorships.
This type of conservatorship is designed for urgent situations where immediate action is required to protect the individual. California law allows for a court hearing to be set up in as little as five days, during which a temporary conservator can be appointed to manage the urgent needs of your loved one.
