Do I Need a Capacity Declaration for Emergency Conservatorship in California?
## 🗒️ Answer
Yes, you need a Capacity Declaration (Form GC-335) for an emergency (temporary) conservatorship in California. This declaration must be completed based on a recent, in-person assessment of the proposed conservatee’s mental state and cognitive functioning [[4](https://www.drstaceywood.com/conservatorship-california/)].
