Conservatorship of P.D.

The Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court's order appointing the Public Guardian of the County of Ventura as the conservator of objector's person and estate after the jury found beyond a reasonable doubt that he was gravely disabled as a result of mental disorder. The court held that the trial court committed harmless error by giving instructions concerning possible consequences should a party prevail. In this case, the trial court's instruction informed the jury about the duration and types of treatment that may be ordered if a conservatorship was established.
