Guides

How California conservatorship accountings actually work.

Written for the person who has to produce one — a professional fiduciary, a probate paralegal, or a family member appointed as conservator. Specific, practical, and free to read.

Always check the official forms

These guides describe the shape of the work. They are not a substitute for the current official forms and instructions, which the Judicial Council of California revises from time to time. Download the current GC-400 series and its instructions from the California Courts forms finder, and read your county's local rules alongside them.

Owner action before launch: transcribe the exact schedule form numbers and titles from the current official GC-400 fillable PDFs into these guides — never from memory — and file the quarterly re-check reminder (phase-8-launch.md, edge case L8).

One accounting. One flat $199.

Watch the walkthrough to see the whole job done — statements in, every schedule cross-footed, the GC-400 packet out — then buy the accounting in front of you. One fee per accounting: no subscription, no seats, and every re-run, correction and re-export of that accounting is included.

If we can't read your statements well enough to build the accounting, tell us and we refund it — no argument, no forms.
