Case Management Improvement Plan for Adult Guardianship and Conservatorship Cases: Probate Improvement Plan

In June 2010, the Probate Department commenced an internal assessment of guardianship and conservatorship processes and procedures to enhance accountability of estates, reduce costs, and improve services to the public. This assessment arose out of a routine reevaluation that occurred with the recent change of leadership at the Maricopa County Superior Court, consideration of the Comprehensive Probate and Mental Health Department 2010-2015 Strategic Plan approved by the Superior Court Judicial Executive Committee in June 2010, and in response to heightened public scrutiny of the Probate Court.
